A collision involving a parked ambulance.
This is in Bushwick, Brooklyn.
It happened around 4 p.m. this afternoon.
We're still learning information.
You're looking at video that was shot from above.
Sky Fox was over the scene shortly after it happened.
It happened at Knickerbocker and Bleeker.
We're told a car collided onto the sidewalk into a private ambulance.
No word on what caused this.
At least not yet.
We know six people were injured.
Kendall Green, he just got to the scene.
He's joining us live right now from the news unit.
Hi, Kendall.
Hey, what's going on, Steph?
This happened around 4 o'clock, as you just reported.
It was just outside of the 83rd Police Precinct here
on Knickerbocker Avenue, as you said.
And we're told the department here at the 83rd Precinct
were hosting some type of trunk or treat event.
When.
Those children and several other individuals were hit.
We're told six people total.
As we get you to some video from Scott Fox,
I just want to let you know what we know so far.
The crash took place within about
an hour before that event was supposed to end.
It was scheduled to end around 5, and police report
that crash involved a 56-year-old driver of a black sedan.
Dan.
And there was also a 46-year-old passenger with him.
In that vehicle and police say he was driving on the sidewalk
of Bleecker Avenue when he collided with the parked ambulance.
That's the one that you see there on scene from Skybox with no one
inside of that ambulance along with multiple pedestrians. He hit
Six people were told.
Now, we've learned just a moment ago that a 74-year-old woman
and an 8-year-old boy were transported to Wyckoff Medical Center,
reported in stable condition.
Also, a 31-year-old woman and both 6-
and 11-year-old girls were taken to Bellevue.
By EMS also reported in stable condition
and finally a 53 year old woman was taken to Elmhurst.
reported in stable condition as well. Now we spoke to a witness who
was with her children on scene and she was describing she was there.
She something that's told her to stop.
I guess intuition or something. And she looked up.
A few seconds later and saw that black sedan plowing
on the sidewalk into those individuals.
She described seeing a woman go into the air after she was hit.
And we're told three people were treated by police
and taken to the hospital before EMS could show up.
And this was just something that was supposed
to be a lighthearted Halloween event outside of the 83rd Precinct.
And this happens.
We're told the driver, that 56 year old male and a 46 year old woman
who was with him, they were both taken into custody.
Now what charges they're going to face remains unknown if they're going
to face charges regarding this event. But they were taken into custody.
The woman that we spoke with, a witness there on scene,
she shared that one of them admitted that they were under.
Under the influence of something, what that was, I'm not sure,
but we're going to learn more about those charges coming up, and we'll
have those official charges coming up in the 10 o'clock newscast.
