Several videos shared to the Citizen App showed police tape, fire trucks, numerous police vehicles and an ambulance at the scene with flashing lights.

One showed a police van stopped on the median and several people standing in front. It was not immediately clear whether that had been the one involved in the crash.

In the same video, a group of unseen people can be overheard discussing the incident.

“You heard it right?” a man asks.

A woman replies that she had just come off the subway and “saw the f—ing shoes flew off.”

This is a developing story.
