Woman suffers minor injuries after jumping on car

A woman suffered minor injuries after she jumped onto a car that then ran her over on the 500 block of Westcott Street on Tuesday night at 10 p.m.

An 18-year-old female from Syracuse was driving a 1999 Chevy Blazer down Westcott Street when an 18-year-old female from Sayreville whom she was planning to meet jumped on the hood of her car, said Sgt. Gary Bulinski of the Syracuse Police Department.

No tickets were issued and the woman was not taken to the hospital, Bulinski said.

The driver, Keira Terchowitz, a freshman at Onondaga Community College, said she was talking to her friend on the phone as she drove down Westcott Street. Terchowitz’s friend was excited to see her and jumped on the hood “like a typical crazy best friend” when she saw the car.

After her friend jumped on the car, Terchowitz kept driving because her friend would not get off the car.



“Before I knew it, she just fell off my car and I ended up running her over,” she said. “I guess I just ran over her legs a little bit but she’s not really injured. She just has some scrapes on her butt, that’s about it.”
