Overview

  • Fire officials said the Ford Explorer drove about 20 feet into the lobby of the Montefiore Primary Care office on Central Park Avenue around 9:45 a.m.
  • The driver was extricated after the building’s front door pinned her in the seat, and she was transported in critical condition.
  • Her husband, who was a passenger, and four Montefiore employees were also injured and taken to the hospital.
  • Investigators are working to confirm whether a medical episode caused the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
  • The clinic is closed pending an engineering assessment, and the SUV remains inside as patients are being notified of appointment changes.
