Officials say two vehicles collided on 103rd Avenue and 93rd Street on Friday afternoon.
One of the involved vehicles, a white van, jumped the sidewalk and struck a pedestrian.
"I heard a big boom from an impact at the intersection. I looked up and I saw the white van across the street crashing into the stoop and the stoop being decimated, bricks flying everywhere," said an eyewitness. "I walked down the block to see what happened and in front of the van was a woman laying unconscious with serious head wounds, laying there in a pool of blood."
Fire officials said the victim was transported to the hospital in serious condition.
The driver of the car was cited for driving with a suspended license, and the driver of the van stayed on the scene and was not charged.
