A woman is fighting for her life after being involved in a serious car accident today in Hamilton Heights, authorities said.
A van and car collided on Broadway and West 135th Street at 2:15 p.m. -- critically injuring one passenger, police said.
“I heard a bang. I turned around as the car was still traveling,” said mailman Clairmonte Coppin, 41.
“I ran over and me and a few guys tried to push the vehicle back.”
The van crushed the smaller car into the window of a pharmacy, pinning the passengers inside, witnesses said.
“The van hit the red car and drove it up onto the sidewalk, I thought it was going to go through the pharmacy. It was a big bang and then there was glass from the red car exploding from the impact,” Anna Polanco, 22.
Two people were rushed to St. Lukes Hospital -- one in cardiac arrest, the FDNY said.
Police are still investigating the cause of the accident.
