Eight people suffered pain
and injury after a motorist
slammed into a city bus
in Midwood on Thursday —
two blocks away from where
another collision claimed
the life of a 10-year-old boy
last week.
The driver of an express
crosstown BM1 bus told police

COURIER L 4 IFE, SEPT. 20-26, 2019
he was passing through
a green light at Avenue J on
his way south along Ocean
Avenue at 11:30 p.m., when
the operator of an SUV
suddenly collided with the
larger vehicle, causing it to
careen into a nearby light
poll and nearly flipping it
on its side.
Paramedics rushed eight
people to Maimonides Hospital,
where they were treated
for minor injuries, according
to a spokeswoman for
the Police Department, who
could not confirm whether
police made an arrest or
issued any summonses related
the crash, saying an
investigation into the collision
remains ongoing.
The crash happened just
two blocks from where a
driver jumped the curb and
killed a 10-year-old boy waiting
for the bus on Ocean Avenue
at Avenue L on Sept.
10., and safe street activists
would hold a vigil for the
slain boy just hours before
Thursday’s crash occurred.
The incident also happened
just blocks away from
where a driver killed Park
Slope cyclist Jose Alzorriz
at Coney Island Avenue and
Avenue L in August.
