Car Jumps Curb And Hits Two Kids In Queens, Cops Say

FLUSHING, QUEENS — Two kids were sent to the hospital after a car jumped the curb and hit them in Queens on Friday afternoon, police said.

The car jumped onto the sidewalk near 62nd Road and 138th Street around 3:30 p.m., hitting two children that were on the sidewalk, an NYPD spokesperson said. One of the kids was 12 years old and the spokesperson didn't have details on the other's age.

Both of the children were sent to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

The driver stayed on the scene and there have been no arrests made yet, the spokesperson said.

FDNY had told Patch earlier that someone had gotten trapped under the car during the crash, but police later said that was not correct.

The accident comes only a few days after a 10-year-old in Brooklyn was hit and killed by a car that jumped the curb.

Enzo Farachio, from Flatbush, was waiting on Ocean Avenue and Avenue L Tuesday evening when a Lexus SUV jumped onto the sidewalk and hit him. Officials believe the driver had some sort of medical episode.
