Canarsie, NY : A 9-year-old girl died in a traffic accident in Brooklyn early Sunday evening on May 4th 2014

The impact of the crash was so thunderous, it rocked residents of a Canarsie neighborhood. Police say the driver of a 2002 Honda Minivan was traveling southbound when he slammed into a Hyundai and a Toyota near the intersection of Remsen Avenue and Avenue N around 5 p.m. Sunday.

The victims were trapped in the Hyundai and witnesses say the 9-year-old was lifeless.

Residents rushed out of their door just after hearing the collision. They say a woman and another child were pulled out of the Hyundai, but appeared to be in shock.
