Yesterday evening, a 10-year-old boy was struck by a cab on LaSalle Street in Morningside Heights. A witness, Sabrina Johnson, told WCBS 2, "He was not driving fast at all. It’s like the little kid ran into the car and the impact spinned him around and pinned in the fetal position underneath the car."
Johnson, her friend and two others ended up lifting the back of the cab to remove the boy, 10-year-old Jaden Torres. A pediatrician who lives nearby attended to him and told the Daily News, "He was wedged under the rear of the car. He had a pulse ... but he was completely unresponsive."
Jaden is in stable condition at Harlem Hospital. No charges were filed against the driver.
