Two people are in the hospital after a wild car accident in Brooklyn.

Police say a woman was attempting a U-turn at Coney Island Avenue near Avenue K around 10 a.m. Wednesday.

That's when they say she hit a man on a bicycle, then crashed into a van while the bicyclist was still on her car's hood.

The bicyclist fell under the van and police say the driver then crashed into a second car before slamming into a construction site and falling approximately 30 feet into a pit.

The driver was able to crawl to safety.

She and the bicyclist were taken to the hospital.
