NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- An argument at an Upper Manhattan gas station on Monday night ended in a chain-reaction crash that sent an Uber vehicle crashing into a sports bar and injuring nearly two dozen people, police said.
At least 22 people were injured in the 9 p.m. crash at the Inwood Bar & Grill on Broadway.
Among the injured were three girls, ages 10, 7 and 1. The 10-year-old suffered a broken leg.
None of the victims suffered life-threatening injuries. Most of the injuries were from flying glass and other debris, police said.
It all started at a neighboring Citgo gas station at W. 204th Street and Broadway, where a dispute broke out between people in a white Mercedes-Benz and a white Audi.
During the argument, the Audi driver sped out of the gas station and crashed into an Uber driver in a Toyota RAV4 with a female passenger.
The out-of-control Toyota then jumped a curb and careened into the front windows of the bar.
It’s unclear exactly how many of the 22 people injured were inside the bar.
Video posted to Twitter shows some of the victims lying on the ground after the crash. The smashed Toyota is seen on the sidewalk nearby.
The Audi driver fled the scene after the crash, police said. It’s unclear what happened to the Mercedes driver.
