As reported by freelance journalist Angel Mayas, a taxi cab flipped over around 7:30pm on Wednesday night. The cab turned onto 63rd Street from 18th Avenue a little too quickly, Mayas said, and flipped onto its side avoiding most parked cars. The driver, who was rescued by a friend and suffered minor injuries, was taken to Maimonides Medical Center.

The NYPD’S Emergency Services Unit turned the car back upright, then pushed the cab up against the curb to allow traffic to continue, Mayas reported.
