In a terrible twist of fate this incident comes just 2 days short of another MVA involving a Rescue 1 member (July 19th 2006). Rescue 1 FF John Walters was hit by a taxi and pinned whilst standing at the back of Rescue 1

Thankfully he survived but with life changing injuries.

Thoughts are with him and the injured FF this evening and wishing him/her a speedy recovery.

That could have been a lot worse. There must have been at least couple of still armed air bags in that BMW passenger compartment.

Anyone know of it was an electric vehicle?

Chatting with a FF over here today and there was an incident something similar to this here a few weeks ago but both front wheels were off the ground

Note: MD Plates (Medical Doctor) on Vehicle #1 which struck & ran atop Veh.2 Stopped at Red Light.
I can say after Years in the Collision Business that MD's are Notoriously Dangerous Drivers in NYC.

Note: In the Vid., Witness Reported that despite Serious Leg Fracture, Injured Res.1 FF proceeded w/ Removal of
Passengers. God Bless Rescue 1, FDNY & All Who Serve.
Yeah, See... [!] 😉

' a Brooklyn kidney doctor — and apparently a long-time scofflaw, with nine speeding- and red light-camera violations, records show'.
