A vehicle driving on the BQE eastbound crashed with a truck and overturned near exit 32, causing damage to the front of the truck and totaling the vehicle. Emergency service teams, including the NYPD and FDNY, responded to the accident and two unconscious victims were transported to the hospital.

The highway is currently blocked as emergency crews work to clear the scene.
