Eight people were hurt when an SUV fell from the upper deck of New York's FDR Highway before dawn Saturday, police said, according to UPI. At about 3 a.m. the driver of a Land Rover swerved and hit the barrier near 23rd Street, flipping over the top deck and landing on a taxi in the southbound service road, WNBC, New York, reported. The driver of the taxi and five women and two men in the SUV were treated at Bellevue Hospital, where a 29-year-old woman was in critical but stable condition, the station said. The others were listed in stable condition. "There was a gentleman outside the window and caught in between the window," witness Brian Duncan said. "The steering wheel had his legs pinned. I asked him what his name was. I tried to wake him up. And his eyes opened up and he said his name was Eric."
