A boom truck came crashing down on top of a yellow cab in Brooklyn Thursday afternoon, crunching the van's roof and windshield as it was moving, but miraculously all four people inside — including a child — survived.
The incident occurred during the afternoon on New York Avenue near Rockaway Avenue in East Flatbush. A witness said two neighbors pulled the driver out, and he had only suffered some scratches on his head despite being inches from where the vehicle got crunched.
"The roof was within inches of crushing this guy’s head," said neighbor Richard S.
