Yesterday afternoon, four cars were involved in an accident at Fifth Avenue and 38th Street. An SUV driver appeared to have a heart attack at the wheel, causing him to drive into traffic.
The Post identifies the driver as Parmod Tiwari, a livery driver who had just dropped off some tourists at the airport. A witness said, "His arm was straight out of the window, he was just shaking, it happened so fast. All of a sudden, his foot hit the gas and he just took off." Tiwari's GMC Yukon Denali hit a van, which hit a yellow cab; the Denali also hit another livery cab.
Other witnesses tell WABC 7 that Tiwari appeared to get into an argument with another motorist a block earlier at 38th Street and 6th Avenue. Tiwari died, and the medical examiner will determine the cause of death. Nine other people were injured, but not seriously.
