Car Smashes Through Flower Shop On Gravesend Neck Road, 4 Injured

Two adults and two children were hospitalized when an SUV collided with another car and then crashed into a flower shop on Gravesend Neck Road Saturday evening, the New York Post reports.

The SUV, a black Toyota Highlander, had struck a Jeep Cherokee, carrying a 36-year-old man, a 2-year-old girl and an 8-month-old boy, at the intersection with East 13th Street around 8:15pm, according to the Post. The Toyota then veered towards the Deja Vu Flowers Store and smashed through the front window while two female employees were arranging plants in the back, according to the Daily News.

Pictures published by the Daily News show flower petals, glass, and shelves tossed to the floor where the car entered the store.

The driver of the Toyota, a 43-year-old man, was taken to Lutheran Medical Center with internal injuries. The driver of the Jeep and the two children were not seriously injured but taken to Methodist Hospital, according to the Post.
