An out-of-control driver “kept hitting the gas” as he plowed down a Harlem street injuring five people and critically wounding two others Thursday night, according to authorities and witnesses. A man, 49, driving a Red Hyundai Tucson ran over two male pedestrians and barreled into a parked NYPD cruiser in the area of West 125th Street and Frederick Douglass Boulevard at around 8:05 p. m.
