Cabbie Rescued After Taxi Struck by City Van

WASHINGTON -- A D.C. parking enforcement van and taxi cab collided in northwest Washington Friday, authorities said.

The van was traveling eastbound on New York Avenue when it hit the taxi at about 10 a.m., D.C. Fire Department spokesman Alan Etter said.

Authorities rescued the cab driver, who was trapped in his car. The driver's injuries could be serious but are not life-threatening, Etter said.

Three people in the van suffered minor injuries and were taken to a hospital for observation.
