Three bicyclists were struck by an alleged drunk driver on Sunday afternoon, critically injuring one of them.

The incident happened on 12 Avenue and 38 Street at around 9:00AM, when a minivan slammed into three people riding their bikes. One of the victims was pinned underneath the vehicle, and needed to be extricated by FDNY and the NYPD Emergency Services Units. The victim – a female – was in traumatic arrest at the scene.

All three victims were rushed to Maimonides Medical Center.

A police source tells YWN that the driver was taken into custody for DWI.

The bikers appear to have been part of the “The NYC Century Bike Tour” which is being held today, September 10, 2017.

The NYPD Accident Investigation Unit was on the scene conducting an investigation.
