When people are behind the wheel of a vehicle, they tend to understand that they need to be watchful of other motorists on the road in order to avoid potential danger.  However, few people walking down a street would ever consider the risks posed by nearby vehicles, but unfortunately those risks became a reality yesterday when four people were injured in a Bronx car accident that led to a car careening into a building after an initial crash on the street.

According to the authorities, this Bronx car accident occurred yesterday at approximately 5 p.m.  The driver of a Honda was hit by a Acura as the Honda moved through the intersection of East 175th Street and Marmion Avenue.  As a result of that collision, the Honda spun out of control and slammed into a building that was just off the street.  One woman was pinned under the vehicle after it came to a stop, and people in the area helped by lifting the vehicle off of her.  In all, four people were injured and police have yet to complete their investigation.
