"Four people were injured - one of them critically - during a multi-vehicle chain-reaction crash on the Long Island Expressway in the Blissville section of Long Island City on Friday morning. Nine vehicles were involved in the massive pileup and first responders had to remove several people from their wrecked vehicles."
"EMS rushed one victim in critical condition to Elmhurst Hospital, and transported three more victims to Bellevue Hospital, where they were listed in serious condition. While the westbound HOV lane remained open the other westbound lanes were closed for hours while the wrecked vehicles were removed."
A multi-vehicle collision occurred on the westbound Long Island Expressway in Blissville just before 9 a.m., involving nine vehicles in a chain-reaction pileup over the Dutch Kills tributary. Four people sustained injuries: one victim was transported to Elmhurst Hospital in critical condition, while three others were taken to Bellevue Hospital in serious condition. First responders extracted multiple individuals from damaged vehicles. The westbound HOV lane remained operational, but other westbound lanes closed for several hours during vehicle removal. Some vehicles stacked on top of others during the crash. The NYPD Highway District's Collision Investigation Squad continues investigating with no arrests made.
