Five people were injured and a
popular hair salon was totaled Tuesday
morning in a chaotic Park Slope
crash.
Cops say two vehicles — an SUV
and a Pontiac — collided at the intersection
of Third Street and Fourth Avenue
shortly before 8 am, sending the
Pontiac barreling into the storefront
of Elements Hair Salon.
The driver of the Pontiac, who police
say fl ed the scene, struck a 47-yearold
female cyclist and a 30-year-old
man on a scooter, according to authorities.
Three occupants of the SUV were
also injured. All fi ve were transported
to Methodist Hospital for treatment,
according to a Police Department
spokesperson.
According to HowsMyDrivingNy, an
online database of traffi c violations in
New York, the Florida plates assigned
to both cars have racked up parking
and moving violations, including one
red light ticket for each vehicle.
Fourth Avenue has long been
treated like a speedway by drivers,
with two lanes of traffi c in each direction
separated by a median. The
Department of Transportation has
worked in recent years to calm traffi c
through the implementation of a protected
bike lane and other measures,
yet speeding remains an issue along
the corridor.
