Car Crashes Through Fence Near Brooklyn College

FLATBUSH, BROOKLYN — A car crashed through a fence near the front entrance of Brooklyn College on Tuesday afternoon.

The crash happened at Hillel Place and Campus Road. Isaac Monterose, a student journalist at the college, stumbled upon the scene and told Patch that an officer told him the crash was an "accident."

The fence protects a playground used by children who visit campus, Monterose said, but the playground was never threatened by the car.

The NYPD did not immediately have any information to share about the crash when reached by Patch.

One source who was on the scene sent Patch the two photos at the top of this article. The source said no one was injured, and the car owner was on scene cooperating with police.
