A black Ford Fusion was traveling west in the first block of West 87th Street at about 10:26 p.m. when police said it ran a red light and swerved into oncoming traffic. This caused a chain-reaction crash involving a total of six cars, including the Fusion.
The male driver of the Fusion fled the scene on foot and is not in custody, police said.
A 26-year-old woman who was in one of the vehicles was transported to St. Bernard's Hospital in good condition.
