LOWER EAST SIDE, Manhattan (WABC) — There was major damage and no small miracle on Saturday afternoon when a cab crashed into two women and a bodega on the Lower East Side.<\/p>\n
The taxi was near Essex and Rivington Streets when the driver lost control.<\/p>\n
Witnesses say one woman got knocked over and was lying on the pavement. The other was thrown down the bodega’s basement through the opening on the street. She was not seriously injured.<\/p>\n
“I was actually talking to the girl, her name was Dina, in the basement on the other side of the taxi cause her friend said ‘have you seen my friend?’ We tried calling her name and then we heard a little whisper, ‘I’m right here, I’m right here!’ And then we went around the other side and we were talking to her through the basement until we tell the police that that’s where she was at,” said the witness.<\/p>\n
The FDNY says three people in all went to the hospital.<\/p>\n
