A car jumped a curb
and crashed into the entryway
of a Park Slope
row house on the morning
of Sept. 27.
At around 11:30 am, authorities
say a blue SUV
careened into the fence
of a building on Seventh
Street between Fourth
and Fifth avenues. No injuries
were reported, according
to police.
Photos of the crash
were posted to social media
by Park Slope resident
Seth Pollack, who pointed
out that the crash happened
just a few blocks
from where a curb-jumping
crash on Third Street
has left a hair salon closed
for months, and from
where two children were
killed on Ninth Street in
2018 by a driver who suffered
a medical episode
while behind the wheel.
The crash also occurred
on the same block
as elementary school PS
118, where children fi led
into school just a few
hours before the crash.
State records show the
driver of the car has been
hit with four tickets, one
for speeding in a school
zone and another for
blocking a bike lane.
Park Slope had had 304
total crashes this year according
to the open-source
data site Crashmapper, resulting
in injuries to 19
pedestrians, 27 cyclists,
and 64 motorists.
