Serious Accident on BQE, Two Lanes Closed

By GY

A two-car crash on the BQE westbound just before Exit 31 at Wythe Avenue near the Lee Avenue overpass caused major traffic delays Thursday evening.

FDNY and Hatzolah units responded to the scene following reports of a possible trapped patient. Two westbound lanes were temporarily closed, leaving only one lane open as emergency crews operated at the scene.

Despite the heavy damage to both vehicles, the individuals involved were transported by Hatzolah to the hospital in stable condition with minor injuries. No serious injuries were reported.
