At around 2:20 this afternoon the definitive sound of a collision was heard throughout the intersection of Empire Blvd. and Troy Ave. Accidents are nothing new to this intersection as we have reported in the past, but this was the first time in more then 2 years that one of the vehicles involved flipped over.

Apparently one of the cars had taken a red light and collided sending the SUV out of control ultimately flipping over and coming to rest on a parked car. B”H there were no serious injuries to either of the drivers, and neither of them were Jewish.

    TO WEBBY: you wrote that this is the first time in 2 years a car flipped over, i gues you forgot about the major accident that happened in the same intersection about 9 months ago or so where the green jeep flipped over. i remember because i responded to that call, along with many other emt’s in this community.
    just wanted to correct you on that.
