Almost everyone who gets behind the wheel in the city understands that they are encountering some type of risk when they do so.

Unfortunately, even that situation proved to be dangerous on Thursday when a man was hit and seriously injured when he was pinned between vehicles in a horrific Manhattan car accident.
According to the authorities, this Manhattan car accident occurred on Thursday night at 7:45 p.m. The unidentified man had parked his SUV and was getting something out of the back of it when two other vehicles collided on Second Avenue near 82nd Street.

Millions of people visit New York every year, and the vast majority of them have a good experience and return home with memories that will last a lifetime.

According to the authorities, this Queens car accident occurred on Sunday night at 6:30 p.m. The driver of a Nissan sedan collided with a van on 34th Avenue and 31st Street. The force of the impact forced the van to roll over on its side, and a 10-year-old girl was ejected as this occurred. The girl was on the ground when the van rolled over on top of her, and despite the heroic efforts of standers-by to move the van off of her, it was too late. She was killed at the scene. Six other people were injured, but none of the injuries were considered serious.
