A vehicle struck pedestrians near Lexington Ave. and East 42nd Street in Manhattan on Tuesday, causing 10 non-life-threatening injuries, the New York City Fire Department said.
The incident took place at about 5:30 p.m. Normal traffic at the intersection will likely resume in one to two hours, FDNY Deputy Chief Mario Thompkins said in an interview.
“It’s 42nd and Lexington, it’s extremely busy at 5:30 in the afternoon,” Thompkins said. “You can only imagine the amount of pedestrians out here at any given time.”
