Following the incident, the NYPD Collision Investigation Squad responded to conduct an on-scene investigation. As a result, 16th Avenue has been closed to traffic between 45th and 46th Streets.
Additionally, ongoing construction between 46th and 47th Streets has led to further road closures, resulting in two consecutive blocks being shut down. Motorists are strongly advised to avoid the area and use alternate routes.
Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
