Brooklyn, NY : 1-year-old critically hurt in Brooklyn crash on Monday, 20th May 2024

A 1-year-old has been hospitalized with critical injuries after police say a woman was driving while intoxicated and crashed Monday evening in Brooklyn.

Investigators say the child was not in a car seat.

The woman also allegedly ran two red lights before the crash, which resulted in two cars spinning out of control and onto the sidewalk at the corner of Mother Gaston Boulevard and Dumont Avenue in Brownsville.

Witnesses said police officers were nearby and quickly rescued the bleeding 1-year-old from the car.

"To watch the cops take the baby out of the car and not even have time to wait for EMS, to rush them in their own car, it was scary," one neighbor said.
