The destroyed vehicles are dirt bikes and ATVs (all-terrain vehicles) that were seized by the New York City Police Department.
According to a report by the BBC, only 100 of 2000 confiscated illegal vehicles have been crushed, with the rest expected to be destroyed too.
Eric Adams, the mayor of New York City who spoke about the development, said the vehicles were a nuisance and posed a danger to the city, hence the need to bring their operation to an end.

"They are not only a nuisance and an annoyance to us, but also extremely dangerous, and we know that. We see them all the time and we hear them all times at night. They will be crushed today, so that they will never terrorise our city again," Adams said in an address to newsmen.
In another report, an Accra-based trader who sold cigarettes and drinks lamented losing all his goods to the flooding that hit the national capital recently.
According to the devastated man who spoke in an interview with Pulse Ghana, he lost his savings in addition to his wares.

He indicated that he had nothing to fall back on, so he would just have to re-strategise and start the business from scratch.
He added that the floodwater carried away his cash of about GHC800 in addition to the wares.
Asked what, in his opinion, would be the solution to the perennial flooding of Accra, the heartbroken trader said the government should dredge the Odaw river to keep the water levels in check.
