Abandoned Car Creating Traffic Concern

One reader sent me this email tonight:

"Uber drive abandoned his car in the middle of 72nd drive, between 112th/ 113th street.

Driver hasn't returned and city hasn't responded.
Monday morning will be hell on 113th street and 72nd road when all the school buses coming off the van wyck try to come up against the traffic created from this one car."
