Queens, NY (July 3, 2025) – A two-vehicle collision caused injuries and major traffic disruptions Tuesday afternoon in the Whitestone area of Queens. The crash occurred near the intersection of the Whitestone Expressway and Cross Island Parkway, a location known for its high traffic volume and complex merging zones.
Emergency personnel from the FDNY and EMS were quickly dispatched to the scene, where at least two people were injured in the accident. Some were treated at the scene, while others were transported to nearby hospitals for additional medical attention. The vehicles involved sustained significant front-end damage, pointing to a high-impact collision.
The crash created heavy delays for drivers traveling through the interchange as NYPD and highway units worked to secure the area, clear debris, and investigate the circumstances of the crash. Lanes were temporarily blocked while crews coordinated cleanup and traffic control.
Investigators have not yet released information about the cause of the crash or whether any traffic violations contributed to the incident. With the intersection’s reputation for difficult traffic flow and dense commuter activity, those factors are being considered as the inquiry continues.
We extend our well-wishes to the injured and hope for a swift and complete recovery.
New York Car Accidents
Queens is home to some of the busiest and most complex roads in New York City, from high-speed expressways like the Long Island Expressway and Grand Central Parkway to congested urban corridors like Queens Boulevard. With so much traffic flowing through the borough each day, serious car accidents are an unfortunate and frequent reality.
Injury crashes in Queens can result from a range of factors—distracted driving, reckless behavior, speeding, or even outdated roadway infrastructure. Intersections, merges, and narrow lanes often contribute to collisions that leave victims facing painful injuries, vehicle damage, and months of financial uncertainty.
