Van burnt and took everything around it
The description all wrong. There was no crash van was and isolated fire that spread and the vehicle parked then caught fire. Fire started inside the van cabin probably the engine they tried to control it and it escalated. Thank God for the quick response from Parkchester Police and NYPD. Great crowd control and FDNY amazing job as always.
I was there and the way you explained it, is exactly what happened, I don't know who said that 2 cars crashed. Also I couldn't believe the ignorance of a lot of some of the people standing close just to get video footage, I was videoing myself but from very far away across the street a 3/4 block away on the corner
