Fire Department sources said the accident occurred at around 1:40 a.m. in the vicinity of 30th Street and Review Avenue. Members of Engine companies 258 and 259, Ladder companies 115 and 128, Rescue 4, Battalion 45, the 108th Precinct, NYPD Emergency Services Unit 10 and EMS units responded to the scene.
