In a startling event on Monday, a truck collided with a parked van in New York City, causing the van to surge onto the sidewalk and injure at least nine individuals. This chaotic scene unfolded in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, at the bustling intersection of West 30th Street and Eighth Avenue, shortly before the afternoon rush at 4 p.m.

The New York City Fire Department (FDNY) confirmed the details of this alarming incident to Fox News Digital. Initially, emergency services responded to reports suggesting a vehicle had struck a building, pinning a person beneath it. However, upon arrival, first responders found no structural damage to any buildings, and thankfully, no one was trapped under the vehicle.

According to authorities speaking with FOX 5 New York, the truck’s impact with the van forced the latter onto the crowded sidewalk, resulting in a frightening moment for pedestrians. This unexpected turn of events highlighted the dangers that can arise even from parked vehicles in a city as vibrant and busy as New York.

When they arrived, first responders did not see any structural damage. Officials later confirmed that no one was pinned at the scene.
