Traffic Collisions in Queens Commercial Zones
College Point Blvd is a busy retail and transit route connecting various businesses and residential areas in northern Queens. Crashes in this area often occur near parking lot exits, intersections, and delivery zones—where drivers must frequently stop, turn, or merge unexpectedly.
Accidents like Thursday’s can result in a wide range of injuries, including head trauma, neck and back strain, and soft-tissue damage. While some injuries may seem minor at first, they often require ongoing medical treatment and rehabilitation.
