Semi Crushes Car After Its Driver Speeds Through Red Light

A speeding Honda slammed into a city Department of Transportation tractor-trailer in Murray Hill early Wednesday, sparking a massive crash that sent three people to the hospital — two in critical condition. The Honda was speeding north on Third Ave. about 2:30 a.m. when it struck the front cab of the large Mack truck. The force of the impact obliterated the Honda, witnesses said. A yellow cab parked near the intersection was also damaged in the collision. Witnesses said the Honda had just blown a red light when it was nearly flattened.
