The City Police Department’s Highway Collision Investigation Squad is looking into a chaotic multi-car crash on Monday night in South Richmond Hill.
At approximately 10:15 p.m. police responded to a 911 call of a vehicle collision at 121st Street and 101st Avenue. A preliminary investigation determined that a 27-year-old man was driving a 2020 Chrysler 300 and traveling southbound on 121st Street when he struck a 2017 Toyota Camry, which was double-parked and unoccupied on the right side of the roadway. As a result of the collision, the Toyota Camry was pushed into a 2019 Toyota Highlander, which was also parked and unoccupied. The Chrysler 300 then overturned and continued traveling southbound on 121st Street, where it struck the rear of a 2022 Jeep Wrangler, which was stopped at the red traffic signal at the intersection with 101st Avenue. The Chrysler 300 continued through the intersection and struck the front of a 2007 Nissan Pathfinder, which was traveling westbound on 101st Avenue, crossing over 121st Street with the green traffic signal. The Chrysler 300 came to final rest on the southwest corner of the intersection on its roof. The driver of the Chrysler 300 sustained severe trauma to his head and body and was transported by EMS to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where he is listed in critical condition. The operators and occupants of the Jeep Wrangler and Nissan Pathfinder that were struck remained on the scene and sustained only minor injuries, cops said.
