NEW YORK — Ten people were injured, including a child, in a crash Thursday involving a lights-flashing NYPD SUV that roared through a Bronx intersection, police said.
The incident unfolded at the intersection of Hoe Ave. and Westchester Ave. in Foxhurst about 3 p.m. as police in a marked police SUV responded to a call for a stolen vehicle, cops said sources said.
As the officers headed northeast on Westchester Ave. at a rapid speed, they entered the intersection at Hoe Ave., where they crossed over the double yellow line and into the oncoming lane of traffic, video viewed by the Daily News shows. NYPD Chief of Patrol Jeffrey Maddrey said the vehicle was using its lights and siren.
