A Toyota flipped over on West Street Saturday morning around 10:30 a.m., landing on its roof and coming to a stop just north of Harrison Street. Three people in the car were treated and removed to Bellevue Hospital, the FDNY said. No information was available on the condition of the patients or the cause of the crash. 

A woman who had been driving on West Street close to where the car overturned stopped near the scene. “I don’t know what happened,’ said the woman, returning to her car after being examined by medics and still visibly shaken. “I was turning right and I don’t know where it was coming from and it just flipped.”
