The City’s emergency services said one person was hospitalized on Sept. 1, following a motor vehicle accident on the Bronx River Parkway in the Olinville section of The Bronx.
An EMS spokesperson said emergency services received a call at 7.25 a.m. on Sept. 1, for a report of a motor vehicle accident on the Bronx River Parkway’s Exit 9 northbound lane at East Gun Hill Road.
They said one person was transported to Jacobi Medical Center in Morris Park. Their description and condition was unknown.
A video posted to the Citizens’ App shows a dark-colored, overturned car at the location, with at least two of its doors open. With collision investigations, the NYPD handles all criminal aspects of the investigation, while NYC Department of Transportation (DOT) reviews the street design at the locations of such crashes.
