Speeding car crashes through Bed-Stuy cafe, injuring four
An out-of-control car crashed through the front of The Civil Service Cafe on Thursday morning. The normally quiet Bedford-Stuyvesant cafe on the corner of Nostrand Avenue and Clifton Place went into chaos around 8:40 a.m. as four people were injured in the high-speed collision.
Witnesses say one woman was pinned under the silver Dodge Challenger with Florida plates and may lose her leg, according to Henry Rosoff. The driver said he was hit by another car, but bystanders say he was speeding and lost control of his vehicle, Rosoff reported.
