Defendants turned on the lights to their patrol vehicle to pull Gargano over for a traffic violation. Gargano accelerated, reaching speeds over 100 mph, ran eight red lights, drove into oncoming traffic, hit another vehicle, and drove into a light pole at 125th St and 116th Ave, Queens, NY. After Gargano crashed, he exited the vehicle without checking whether plaintiff was injured and fled the scene of the crash on foot for three blocks where he was apprehended by defendants. The crash caused the airbags of the vehicle to deploy. The deployed airbags and crash impact caused plaintiff to suffer significant injuries. Plaintiff spent 15 minutes trying to exit the vehicle and called her mother, who called taxi to pick up plaintiff and drive her to the hospital for treatment. While claimant was sitting outside the vehicle waiting for a taxi, defendants approached plaintiff and stopped, questioned and frisked her. Plaintiff informed defendants she was the passenger in the vehicle involved in the crash, the driver fled the scene and she did not own the vehicle. Plaintiff was searched, arrested and handcuffed. The handcuffs were unreasonably tight on plaintiff's wrists, causing plaintiff to suffer pain and discomfort. Plaintiff told defendants the handcuffs were hurting her wrists, and asked defendants to loosen them, but defendants ignored plaintiff and failed to loosen the handcuffs. The tight handcuffs caused serious physical injuries to plaintiff's wrists. Plaintiff was transported to the 106th Precinct, where she was photographed, searched, and handcuffed to a bench. After many hours plaintiff was taken to Queens Central Booking. Defendants provided the DA with false information that lead to a prosecution initiated against plaintiff. On May 27, 2016, after 58 hours, plaintiff was arraigned, charged with crimes and released on her own recognizance.
