WASHINGTON HEIGHTS, Manhattan (PIX11) — Six pedestrians, including two young girls, were struck by a vehicle that jumped an Upper Manhattan curb Wednesday evening, police said.
The woman behind the wheel of the black sedan lost control while taking a turn near West 190th Street and Broadway in Washington Heights around 6:10 p.m., and jumped the curb, according to the NYPD.
