An out-of-control cabbie jumped a curb and plowed into a group of pedestrians on the Upper East Side Friday, leaving three people in serious condition, cops said.
The cab driver lost control of his vehicle at around 1:45 p.m. on E. 86th Street and Third Avenue and drove onto the sidewalk, a witness said.
“He jumped the curb and then I saw someone go down,” said witness David Johnson. “There were a lot of people on that sidewalk.”
The three victims were taken to Lenox Hill Hospital with serious injuries, authorities said.They were all expected to survive.
The driver remained on scene and no criminality was suspected, cops said.
Friday’s accident comes after two Upper West Side accidents where pedestrians were struck and killed within blocks of each other.
