Three Pedestrians Killed in Nine Day Span

According to reports, the 84-year-old cab driver has since filed a lawsuit claiming he was harassed at the scene and was only arrested because he couldn't speak English. It is reported that police have been cracking down on jaywalking in the area in the hopes of lowering the number of pedestrian accidents in the two block area centered around 96th St. The accident is reportedly still under investigation at this time in order to gather more information.
