Queens, NY (February 15, 2023) – At 7 p.m. on the evening of Wednesday, February 15, a car accident with injuries took place at an intersection in Queens.

According to Queens Police, the accident happened at the intersection of 22nd Street and 38th Avenue. Police confirmed that two or more vehicles were traveling in the area when they allegedly entered the intersection at the same time, colliding with one another. The involved vehicles were badly damaged and had to be towed from the scene.

Paramedics, fire crews, and several other responders were immediately dispatched to the scene after reports of injuries. One or more victims were treated by EMS crews at the scene of the collision. The parties were then hospitalized, though their current conditions are not yet known.

The roadway was blocked at the intersection for an extended period of time, which led to delays. Police worked to clear the scene as quickly as possible so traffic could resume as normal.
