A 51-year-old woman was killed early Saturday after a yellow cab involved in a crash vaulted onto a Queens sidewalk, striking her and two others, police said.
The 23-year-old cabbie was driving his Toyota Rav4 cab near the corner of 115th Ave. and Lefferts Blvd. in South Ozone Park about 3:10 a.m. when he collided with a Honda Accord driven by a 25-year-old man, cops said.
The force of the crash sent the cab veering onto the sidewalk, where it struck the 51-year-old woman and two men, ages 49 and 44.

The 23-year-old cabbie was driving his Toyota Rav4 cab near the corner of 115th Ave. and Lefferts Blvd. in South Ozone Park about 3:10 a.m. when he collided with a Honda Accord driven by a 25-year-old man, cops said.
All three were rushed to Jamaica Hospital, where the woman died. Her name was not immediately released. The two men were listed in stable condition.
Both drivers remained at the scene. No arrests have been made.
Members of the NYPD Collision Investigation Squad were investigating the crash Saturday.
The accident happened three days after a yellow cab jumped a curb on Christmas Day and plowed into six tourists outside the Macy’s flagship Manhattan store. None of the injuries were life-threatening.
