Three cars — one of them a livery cab — slammed into each other on Ocean Avenue near the corner of Avenue K in Midwood on Dec. 15.

The Fire Department and Hatzalah ambulance service reported getting calls about the collision at 10:43 am.

An eyewitness reported that the cab driver and his passengers required hospitalization, and authorities said an emergency vehicle transported them to Lutheran Medical Center. But despite the mechanical carnage at the scene, a Hatzalah spokeswoman said the drivers of the other two vehicles declined assistance and were able to walk away from the crash.

The cause of the smash-up remains unclear.
