At least nine people were injured Thursday after an SUV crashed into a car and jumped a curb in New York City, mowing down pedestrians.

Four of the injured people were in serious but stable condition, while five others suffered minor injuries, all non-life threatening.

According to the NYPD, the driver of a Chevy Tahoe and a livery cab both attempted to make a right turn at the same time, from Ninth Avenue to West 37th Street, ABC7 reports.

“I’m going straight, going to Lincoln Tunnel, to Newark Airport,” said TLC driver Pardeep Singh.

He was heading south on Ninth Avenue when he says the Chevy Tahoe suddenly made a right turn into him.

“When I saw them I honked the horn and he hit me hard, and then he speeding and hit the van also,” said Singh. “Then he keep going and hit the wall.”

Instead of stopping, the Tahoe slammed into the back of a van, careened off it, and according to police struck a man and a woman, both in their 40’s.

The SUV then plowed through two heavy metal tree planters and ended up wedged between a building and a tree.

“There was a lady lying down on the floor and she was hit,” said eyewitness Mohan Ahluwalia. “A man was hit. The ambulance came and took them to the hospital.”

Eight passengers in the SUV and two people in the livery car – a driver and a passenger – were evaluated after being involved in the crash but not transported.

A witness said that a woman sitting in the front passenger seat appeared seriously wounded, though she was conscious.

The driver of the SUV is being questioned by police.

An investigation is underway.
