Law enforcement sources say two women have died and a third is in critical condition after they were struck by a car in the Allerton section of the Bronx. The car also hit multiple other vehicles, injuring at least six others.<\/p>\n
It unfolded just before 2:15 p.m. Friday at Allerton and Holland avenues.<\/p>\n
Surveillance footage obtained by News 12 shows a white Mercedes-Benz fly through the busy intersection, plowing through a group of people in the crosswalk and hitting multiple cars waiting at the light.<\/p>\n
The NYPD says the 81-year-old man behind the wheel of the Mercedes appeared to have suffered a medical episode when he lost control of the car.<\/p>\n
Police say four women were hit by the Mercedes and rushed to Jacobi Hospital. Two of them were later pronounced dead and a third is in critical condition. Their ages and identities were not immediately available.<\/p>\n
According to the NYPD, the Mercedes then rear-ended two cars. The force from the impact caused those cars to strike two additional cars.<\/p>\n
The six remaining victims were likely occupants of the cars that were hit, according to the NYPD. Paramedics took them to a nearby hospital, where investigators say they are expected to recover.<\/p>\n
Police say EMS also transported the 81-year-old driver to the hospital. He is listed in stable condition.<\/p>\n
All parties involved in the crash remained on scene, according to the NYPD.<\/p>\n
No arrests have been made.<\/p>\n
