Brooklyn, NY – Traffic Blocked After Driver Injured in 18th Ave Collision

Brooklyn, NY (August 2, 2024) – Early on August 2, a black car was involved in a severe accident at the 6424 block of 18th Avenue, near the Santander Bank branch in Brooklyn. The vehicle’s driver’s door was completely detached, and the front wheel on the driver’s side was significantly damaged.

Emergency medical services arrived promptly, transporting the adult male driver on a stretcher. The exact cause of the accident has not been reported, but a garbage truck was also at the scene, indicating a possible collision with the black car. The truck’s presence suggests it may have scraped the car’s side, causing extensive damage.

The New York Police Department (NYPD) has cordoned off the area, leading to a road closure on 18th Avenue. The accident has also caused delays for buses in the vicinity. As investigations continue, commuters are advised to seek alternative travel routes to avoid the area. Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.

We hope all the injured victims make a rapid recovery.
