One man who lives nearby told The Daily News that the noise of the crash sounded like an 'earthquake'.
He said: 'I quickly ran, called 911, reported it in there. There was emergency Hatzalah there on the scene within two minutes of that phone call, they came in there.
'They performed CPR on the lady. There was another kid right next to that…and they did CPR on them.
