The car leaped the curb at 45th Street and Broadway, and then plowed onto the sidewalk. Law enforcement has blocked off the area, and WNYC’s Stephen Nessen reports Gov. Andrew Cuomo has arrived at the scene.
The cause of the incident was not immediately clear.
This is a developing story. Some things that get reported by the media will later turn out to be wrong. We will focus on reports from police officials and other authorities, credible news outlets and reporters who are at the scene. We will update as the situation develops.
