2 Car Accident with Injuries on Eastern Pkwy and Brooklyn Ave.

Early Thursday morning at around 3:30am a series of loud bangs we heard throughout the intersection of Eastern Parkway and Brooklyn Ave and bystanders that had come to see what had taken place watched in horror how one SUV with severe damage to its right side and its driver still trapped inside the car.

According to witnesses they say that one car, a Pontiac Sedan, tried to make a right turn unto Brooklyn Ave from the middle lane striking the Chevy SUV in the left side and sending it into two light and traffic signal poles. The driver of the SUV’s leg got stuck in the center dash but he managed to release himself and exit his vehicle where he got down on the floor and EMS who had arrived on scene began treating him for his injuries. The driver who was not Jewish was alone in his car, while the other car had both a driver and a passenger who are both Jewish, the passenger refused medical attention but the driver was transported by Hatzalah to Kings County Hospital for observation.

The force of the impact sent derbies from the SUV as much as 30 feet away from the wreckage.

    That’s crazy. I don’t know who was in the car that made the right turn from the middle lane, but they should not be allowed to drive if they are going to cause accidents.

  • Re: thats nuts

    anyone could cause an accident and it has nothing to do with ppl being not allowwed to drive…. yes they should be more careful…. but dont down someone who got into an accident with that cuz it is all the creator’s hands!!!
