At about 10 a.m. a yellow box truck went into Bagels For You, located at 113-29 Queens Blvd., after it struck a parked car, police said.

Five victims, who suffered minor injuries, were taken to Jamaica Hospital and New York Hospital of Queens, the FDNY said. A sixth person, who was also hurt, refused medical attention at the scene.
