Woman Charged After Yesterday Morning’s Car-On-Train Crash

20-year-old Hannah Harris has been charged with leaving the scene of an accident and filing a false police report after crashing her family’s Nissan SUV through a subway barrier at the end of Albemarle Road near E 16th Street around 5am yesterday, says the New York Daily News.

Harris, who The Post says is a Marine Park resident and student at FIT, allegedly took off after her car’s front wheels landed on top of a Q train carrying about 50 people, only calling the 70th Precinct about six hours later to tell them a man who had carjacked her had been in the driver’s seat at the time of the crash. When police asked why she waited so long to file a report, cops say, Harris admitted there was no carjacking, and she had been behind the wheel after all.

It sounds as if Harris might not have realized the road came to a stop just before the barrier, as one neighbor told The Post, “I was completely startled, but more fearful somebody was hurt… She had to have been going a minimum of 60.”
