6 Hurt After Driver Fleeing Cops Leaves Trail Of Destruction

A driver took off during a traffic stop in Brooklyn Saturday, plowing through a red light and hitting an MTA bus and two cars in chaotic crashes that left six people injured, the NYPD said. Officers attempted to pull the driver over for an infraction shortly before 4:30 p.m. near Clinton and Lafayette avenues in Clinton Hill. But instead of pulling over, the NYPD says he accelerated through a red light and hit a pair of cars, including a black SUV, and an MTA bus before coming to a stop several blocks south at Fulton Street and Clinton Avenue.
