Woman, Child Injured in Brooklyn Car Accident With SUV

2023 Fisker SUV Involved in Collision With Two Pedestrians in Brooklyn by Nostrand Avenue and Park Avenue

BROOKLYN, NEW YORK (August 3, 2026) – A woman and a four-year-old child were hospitalized following a Brooklyn car accident near the intersection of Nostrand Avenue and Park Avenue.

New York City officials are saying that the accident occurred around 9 PM on Sunday. A 2023 Fisker SUV reportedly collided with a white minivan before jumping the curb and hitting a 39-year-old woman who was walking alongside her three children.

Paramedics were called to the scene of the accident to help the victims. The woman was transported to the hospital in critical condition.

The four-year-old child was also injured and taken to the hospital in stable condition. Photos of the accident site showed extensive damage to a fence along the perimeter of a building.

A full investigation into the collision remains ongoing at this time.

Liability for Brooklyn Car Accidents

Drivers in New York have a legal obligation to operate their vehicles with the safety and skill necessary to avoid collisions. Under New York Vehicle Code 1141, “The driver of a vehicle intending to turn to the left within an intersection or into an alley, private road, or driveway shall yield the right of way to any vehicle approaching from the opposite direction which is within the intersection or so close as to constitute an immediate hazard.” There are many mistakes that a driver may make before colliding with a pedestrian.

• A driver may have been traveling at a speed that would be unsafe given the prevailing road conditions.
• A driver may have failed to check their blind spots before turning at an intersection.
• A driver may have been intoxicated through the use of alcohol or drugs.
• A driver may not have properly scanned the road ahead of them for potential hazards.

If a driver fails to slow down to avoid colliding with another vehicle, this could serve as evidence of negligence. It is possible that more than one driver could potentially be liable for a car accident that injured a pedestrian. This is why it is so important that any pedestrian accident is properly investigated by experienced legal counsel. Victims of pedestrian accidents may be able to seek some measure of accountability through a bodily injury claim.
