Two taxi cabs collided in the East Village Sunday night, sending scaffolding crashing into the street and injuring at least six people.

The New York City scaffolding accident occurred after the colliding cabs jumped a curb on Broadway and East 8th Street shortly before 8 p.m., according to the New York Post.

Both vehicles were left buried in debris in front of a Gap store -- click here for pictures of the New York City taxi cab accident.

Witnesses reported the cabs were either racing or attempting to overtake one another when they lost control. Two people were seriously injured. All six victims in both cabs were transported the St. Vincent's Hospital for treatment.

"The backside of one cab hit the pole," witness Mark Seran, 47, told The Post. "Then they spun and the scaffolding collapsed."
