This is the unassuming storefront of Your Baker, located on 86th Street between 5th Avenue and Gelston Avenue.
On June 26th, 2007 it was the scene of a horrific traffic accident.
Lou Lou Sayeg was apparently trying to make a turn on to the busy 86th Street corridor and accidently pressed hard on the gas instead of the brake.
In doing so Sayeg struck Lance Severwell, sending him about 15 feet up into the air giving him head and shoulder injuries, which is considered lucky for this scene as Severwell survived.
After striking Severwell, Sayeg and her vehicle kept moving and then struck my grandmother’s neighbor, Lyudmila Piyavskaya- killing Piyavskaya instantly – with Sayeg’s vehicle coming to a stop only after smashing into the bakery.
Gruesome!
