According to the resident:

The owners of two cars parked in front of the school will be quite upset tomorrow. For no visible reason, the PSD SUV crashed into the vehicles as I walked past.

I saw the accident.  I was next to the cars that were hit.  There was not significant traffic on the road; I am uncertain why the accident occurred.  The noise brought a number of the construction workers from the school out to look, but none of them owned the vehicles.
The driver was a female PSD officer.  She hit both cars, then backed out and called for assistance.  She was not injured, the other two cars were parked and their owners not immediately apparent.  

I sent the following message to Roosevelt Island Public Safety Department Director Keith Guerra and RIOC's spokesperson:

 I understand there was an accident involving a Public Safety vehicle hitting two parked cars in front of PS/IS 217 last evening.

Is that true? Was anyone injured and what was the cause of the accident.

RIOC's spokesperson replied:

 The accident did occur.  Nobody was hurt.

The Roosevelt Island Daily Public Safety Report listed the incident as follows:

Vehicle Accident - At 645 Main Street. Vehicle accidently struck two parked vehicles. No injuries. NYPD filed a report.
