NEW YORK — A yellow taxi driver in an SUV ran over a cyclist and pinned two pedestrians against a building at a busy intersection in Midtown Manhattan Monday — triggering a spontaneous effort by horrified spectators to lift the cab off the victims, police said.
The crash left six people injured, including the driver, with three taken to Bellevue Hospital in critical condition. Police sources said two of the victims suffered significant leg injuries, and one’s leg was severed entirely.
The driver turned left onto Broadway from W. 29th St. about 12:55 p.m. and T-boned the cyclist who was heading downtown in the bike lane, according to cops.
