After Accident Driver Attempts to Flee, Gets Caught

CROWN HEIGHTS [CHI] — An accident on President Street turned chaotic after one of the drivers attempted to flee the scene – on foot, only to be chased down and apprehended not even a block away.

The accident occurred in the intersection of Albany Avenue and President Street at around 7:00pm where the driver of a gypsy cab smashed into the side of a Honda Pilot, and after stopping briefly he attempted to speed off only the driver of the Honda chased him down and cut him off.

Once stopped the driver got out of the car, took his bag out of the trunk, and began walking briskly down away only to be chased down by a throng of bystanders including members of Hatzalah and Shomrim.

Once police arrived on scene they looked into the fleeing driver’s background and found that he had a suspended license and was placed under arrest. The driver of the Honda was treated for shock and transported to a local hospital by Hatzalah.

    well buffer it looks like u got the facts mixed up

    1) the driver of the Honda is a east Midwood member so hr probably called them

    2)in Boro Park it is pretty much official that Hatzolah call East Midwood when they r short units or or a bus or if the pt requests to go to the city

    3)off the record Flatbush Hatzolah units do the same

    so @ the end of the day your the buffer and they are almost the real deal
