Terrible car accident in Chelsea: 14th Street Between 7th and 8th

There was a terrible car accident in Chelsea. Car flipped, possibly a pedestrian injured, briefcase and blood about 100 ft from car. The odd thing is that I watched the 11 o’clock news and have checked every local news site and I cannot find anything about this accident.

    Me either, I find it very strange.

  3. Cyclosity says:

    Gothamist covered it.

  4. james says:

    Yes, I see it now. They didn't post it until today. Thanks for the tip.

  5. james says:

    Actually they covered it referencing my photos. I emailed them last night to see if anyone had sent them a tip about it. Pretty cool.

  6. Vika says:

    That is odd. I was looking for some information about this accident and could not find anything too. One of my coworkers happened to witness everything, as it happened next to our workplace. What is that?

    What is what?

    I was walking by not long after this happened. Even aside from the car being flipped over you could tell it was worse than a regular car crash.

  8. Cyclosity says:

    Streetsblog used your photos today also.

  9. james says:

    Very cool! Thanks for pointing it out.

    I worked with this man he was a ACS worker, he was a very nice person, and very caution which is why we dont understand how this could have happened the way they said but anything is possible. He will be missed.

    I take it from you comment that he has passed away, I'm sorry to hear that. I cross 14th street in nearly that place almost everyday. I feel terrible for the people he left behind.

    Thank you for the insight into his life.

    I heard the crash and walked up and saw the man on the ground. I was wondering whether he lived on not.
    One person who saw “the whole thing”, was describing the accident, when a policewoman asked, “did anyone see the accident?”. At this point the woman who saw it all, simply turned away with saying a thing.
