Police are investigating a crash on the Upper East Side after a woman plowed her vehicle into a jewelry store on Tuesday, leaving her hospitalized.
According to law enforcement sources, the incident unfolded at around 9:45 a.m on 90th Street and Madison Avenue. A 62-year-old woman driving a blue Subaru SUV careened into a Ginette NY jewelry store. Authorities reported that the driver attempted to step on the brake, but instead, mistakenly hit the accelerator, sending her zooming into the shop.
The jeweler was closed at the time of the collision, with its metal barriers down; however, the store’s doors were left bent inward, with glass strewn across the street.
EMS whisked the driver to Weill Cornell Medical Center, where she was listed in stable condition and expected to recover. No pedestrians or workers at the jewelry store were injured.
Police were seen investigating and sectioning off the crash site from the public.
The investigation remains ongoing, but it is not being considered criminal in nature at this time.
