December 4, 2020 A speeding driver crashed on the Belt Parkway after losing control of their vehicle. The fatal accident in Queens resulted in the death of the vehicle’s passenger, who had sustained severe injuries.
The twenty-year-old driver crashed into overpass support on the eastbound Belt Parkway near 150th St. The accident took place on the edge of Baisley Pond Park and across from Kennedy Airport at about 11 p.m. on November 29, according to the police. The vehicle flipped over in the crash.
Medics transported the driver and his passenger, a man in his twenties, to Jamaica Hospital, where the passenger died. Police are still establishing the passenger’s identity. The driver is in critical condition.
Speeding is one of the top reasons for auto accidents in New York. Losing control over the vehicle often leads to the inability to stop on time. Often speeding leads to rear-end crashes, or colliding with an object.
