Queens, NY (June 26, 2025) – A traffic collision in the Springfield Gardens neighborhood of Queens led to injuries Tuesday near a busy interchange connecting the Belt Parkway and the eastbound Southern State Parkway. The crash took place at a major corridor frequently traveled by commuters moving between Brooklyn, Queens, and Long Island.
Emergency responders arrived quickly at the scene to assist those involved. At least one individual was transported to a local hospital for further medical assessment. The exact number of people injured and the severity of those injuries have not yet been disclosed.
The crash disrupted traffic in the eastbound lanes, leading to temporary delays as officials cleared the roadway and rerouted vehicles around the affected area.

New York Car Accidents
From the constant buzz of Queens Boulevard to the congestion of the Long Island Expressway, Queens is one of the busiest boroughs for vehicle traffic in New York City. But with all that movement comes risk, and injury-causing car accidents are an unfortunate reality for many residents and commuters every day.
In communities like Jamaica, Flushing, Astoria, and Forest Hills, crashes happen in the blink of an eye, leaving behind a wake of physical pain, emotional stress, and financial hardship. Whether it’s a multi-car pileup during rush hour or a fender bender in a neighborhood intersection, the injuries sustained can have lasting consequences.
Some of the most common injuries seen in Queens traffic accidents include:
- Neck and Back Injuries – Soft tissue damage, disc herniations, and chronic spinal pain can make daily activities difficult and often require ongoing treatment.
- Head and Brain Injuries – Even a mild concussion can lead to memory loss, mood changes, and concentration issues, while more severe trauma may require long-term care.
- Fractures and Orthopedic Injuries – Broken bones are common in collisions and may involve complex surgeries and rehabilitation.
- Spinal Cord Injuries – In serious cases, victims may suffer partial or complete paralysis, fundamentally altering their quality of life.
- Internal Injuries – Organ damage or internal bleeding may not be immediately obvious, making medical evaluation critical after any crash.
- Lacerations and Disfigurement – Shattered glass, debris, and airbag deployment can leave victims with visible scarring or long-term discomfort.
