Police responding to “serious collision” in lower Manhattan

NEW YORK — Three people were taken to the hospital following a “serious collision” near Liberty Street and Broadway, just blocks from One World Trade Center in lower Manhattan.

CBS New York reports the collision occurred around 1:20 p.m. Thursday afternoon and the victims were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. 

The cause of the collision was not immediately clear. Police are questioning the driver.

The area was the site of police activity over a suspicious package earlier Thursday, although there is no indication the incidents are related. Police gave the all-clear after a sweep by a bomb squad.

This is a developing story.
