Video captured the moments police say a man crashed a BMW early Sunday morning on Jerome Avenue in Fordham. He later died at a hospital.<\/p>\n
It happened just before 4:30 a.m. The NYPD says the red BMW side-swiped one of the support poles for the elevated subway track near the corner of Jerome Avenue and East 181st Street, before crashing into another pole about a block away near the corner of Jerome Avenue and Clinton Place head on.<\/p>\n
In surveillance video obtained by News 12, there appears to be a red light on Jerome Avenue, when the car is seen swerving around another car stopped at the intersection, before crashing into that pole.<\/p>\n
People are then seen pulling the driver out of the car. Police say that while he was taken to the hospital, it was too late to save him.<\/p>\n
The driver was not immediately named. It wasn\u2019t clear what caused him to lose control of the car.<\/p>\n
According to Vision Zero data, at least seven other people have been hurt in car crashes on that block this year, but none have been fatal. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Video captured the moments police say a man crashed a BMW early Sunday morning on Jerome Avenue in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8923,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[128,2227,9,24,63,129,131,130,2226],"class_list":["post-8922","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-the-bronx","tag-bronx","tag-car-crash","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-the-bronx","tag-the-bronx-headlines","tag-the-bronx-news","tag-vehicle-crash"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8922","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8922"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8922\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8923"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8922"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8922"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8922"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
