A one year old baby suffered injuries after being hit by a yellow taxi. The baby was sitting in a stroller next to the parents on the terrace of a restaurant located at 85th Street and Second Avenue in the Upper East Side of Manhattan when the accident happened. Two yellow taxis crashed into each other. The impact caused one of the taxis to jump the curb and hit the stroller. Two taxi passengers, a 46-year-old woman and a 9-year-old girl also suffered minor injuries. The two taxi drivers weren’t injured. They both jumped out of their taxis and started to argue. According to a witness, they didn’t seem to care much about the injured passengers or the family that they almost killed. Both drivers told the police that the other one didn’t have the green light. The police are still investigating the accident. They are going to look at footage of the surveillance video camera from the restaurant to figure out who was right and who was wrong. It was a miracle that no other pedestrians suffered serious injury as the accident occurred during a sunny Sunday afternoon with terraces and sidewalks packed with people. Read more here
