Six people — including an infant — were injured when an out-of-control box truck plowed t꧂hrough a packed Queens bagel shop Wednesday, covering customers under a pile of broken glass and tables, officials and witnesses said.
Several people were eating breakf🦂ast inside Bagels For You in Forest Hills at around 10 a.m. when the truck suddenly came smashing through the wall.
“When it first happened, it felt like an ex🌳plosion,” said employee Alex Filsev, 27𒀰, who was behind the cash register and watched in disbelief as his customers started flying around the store.
“The walls started to crash a🎉nd falling down and𒊎 all the dust and glass exploded from it.”
Filsev said a woman in her 20s who had been sitting with her mother and infant child was thrown to the bac🍷k of the shop and pinned, he said.
He then ran over and grabb💟ed the approximately 6-month-old child and ♉grandmother and tried to usher them to safety.
Police said the truck’s dri𝓡ver lost control as he was traveling down Queens Boulevard, clipped a parke🎀d car near at 73rd Road and continued half a block, rocketing toward the crowded shop.
