Postal worker critically injured
in high-speed Canarsie car crash
BY TODD MAISEL
A U.S. Postal Service
worker was critically injured
on Dec. 1 after a speeding
driver blew through a stop
sign and struck his car on a
Canarsie street corner, police
said.
The driver of a grey Mercedes
Benz, allegedly traveling
at high speed northbound
along E. 105th Street, broadsided
the postal worker’s
Subaru Forester, which was
heading east on Avenue L at
2:02 pm.
The impact caused the Subaru
to smash into a parked
Nissan pick-up truck before
mounting the sidewalk and
fl ipping onto its side against a
brick wall.
Offi cers from the 69th Precinct
and fi refi ghters raced
to the scene and worked for
20 minutes to cut the postal
worker out of the Subaru,
where the victim’s USPS uniform
hung on the door frame.
The worker was unconscious
and unresponsive, and was
rushed to Brookdale Hospital

in critical condition with
a severe head injury, police
said.
The driver of the Mercedes
Benz remained on the scene,
and no charges have been fi led
as of Wednesday morning.
The crash could be heard
from blocks away, according
to witnesses.
“It sounded like an explosion,”
said one resident who
didn’t want to be identifi ed.
“Then fi remen came and they
had to cut him out. It was horrible.”
Another local said that far
too many drivers speed in the
neighborhood.
“I live right here, that’s my
neighbor. My daughter called
me and said, ‘Did you hear
that, mommy?’” said Mercedes
Narcisse, a neighborhood
activist and candidate
for City Council. “They drive
too fast over here, I’m usually
standing right here talking
politics … The drag racing
around here has to stop.”
The NYPD Collision Investigation
Squad was on
scene looking to determine
the cause of the crash, police
said.
