A New York City taxi crashed into an SUV Thursday afternoon at 42nd Street and 1st Avenue, causing a section of building scaffolding to come crashing down, according to NBC New York.
Four people were seriously injured— three were traveling in the vehicles and one was on the sidewalk at the time of the crash.

It appears that the taxi hit an SUV, which jumped the curb and hit a pedestrian and the scaffolding, according to NBC.
ABC 7 has posted several photos of the scene. It looks like a large section of the scaffolding fell on top of the SUV after the crash.
Last month, a taxi jumped a curb near Rockefeller Center in Midtown Manhattan and hit a woman, severing her leg.
