A deadly crash in Times Square on Thursday shut down many streets in midtown, and there was no telling when they may be reopened as the NYPD investigation continues, an Office of Emergency Management spokesman said.
The crash, which spanned three blocks between 42nd Street and 45th Street on Seventh Avenue, killed an 18-year-old woman and injured 20 others.
City officials are urging motorists to avoid the area near Times Square.
