He told them somebody was shooting at him.

He was driving on the sidewalk,&#8221; striking the driver and one other person, the witness said. The van crashed into scaffolding about a block and a half away.<\/p>\n<p>The delivery driver was left with two broken legs and a broken hand, his boss, Gian Piero owner Michael DellaPolla, told The Post. <\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/03\/crash-45-broadway-005.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1286 1286w,https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/03\/crash-45-broadway-005.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1033 1033w,https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/03\/crash-45-broadway-005.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=915 915w,https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/03\/crash-45-broadway-005.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=642 642w,https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/03\/crash-45-broadway-005.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=606 606w,https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/03\/crash-45-broadway-005.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=453 453w,https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/03\/crash-45-broadway-005.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=568 568w\"\nsizes=\"(max-width: 568px) 100vw, (max-width: 1024px) calc(100vw -
