WHITESTONE, NY : 4 dead, 1 critical in Cross Island Parkway crash in Queens Monday, 1st January 2024

Five people were killed and a sixth person was injured in a crash on the Cross Island Parkway in Queens.

It happened early Monday in a section of the parkway called "dead man's curve."

Two cars, a dark blue Mazda with North Carolina plates and a white Honda, collided on the curve from the northbound Cross Island Parkway to the southbound Whitestone Expressway just before 6 a.m.

The Mazda was going southbound into the curve, lost control and hit the median and then the Honda, which was going northbound, before landing upside-down in the northbound lanes.

Police are still investigating how fast the Mazda was going, but they say it was speeding.
