Father’s Leg Sliced Off after Cabbie Crash
I’m a little late on this story, but it happened a block down from my old house so eventually I found out about this by word of mouth from some friends in the neighborhood. According to police, on June 3rd a Mill Basin cab driver was traveling on E57th Street and L when around 7:45 p.m.a car pulled out of a driveway on the right side of the road causing the cab driver to swerve around itand proceeded to slam into the man who was putting his child into a car-seat.
The man’s leg was amputated at the knee. The neighbors tried to help the man by putting his leg on ice and he was rushed to Bellevue Hospital. According to one of the witnesses at the scene, “He just put the baby into the vehicle when he hit him. The little child is ok”
According to police, the man’s wife and child were not seriously injured in the accident.
