One patient was treated on scene for injuries, although the extent of those injuries was not immediately released. No fatalities were reported, and additional occupants involved in the crash did not require transport.

Ramp Collisions on New York Expressways
Crashes occurring on on-ramps or merge zones, such as the Humboldt ramp leading onto Route 33 East, are often the result of high-speed merging, reduced visibility, or sudden lane shifts. These narrow, curved areas can be especially hazardous in the early morning when traffic volume begins to increase and driver alertness may be reduced.
Although this incident involved only one confirmed injury, crashes on expressway ramps can cause severe harm due to limited shoulder space, reduced reaction time, and abrupt speed differentials. Injuries often include neck and back trauma, concussions, or soft tissue damage.
In such cases, prompt medical treatment and thorough documentation are key for recovery and any future legal or insurance processes. Even when collisions appear minor, underlying injuries may surface in the days following the crash.
