Multi-Vehicle Accidents on the Long Island Expressway
Sunday’s three-car collision in Rego Park highlights the persistent risks of driving on high-speed expressways like the LIE. Congestion, sudden lane changes, and tailgating are all common contributors to multi-vehicle pileups, especially near on-ramps and exits like 99th Street.
When three or more vehicles are involved, determining fault can become complex, and injuries often vary in severity from driver to passenger. Even those who feel “shaken up” should be medically evaluated, as symptoms of internal trauma, soft tissue injuries, or concussions may appear hours or days later.
Victims of LIE crashes should take steps to preserve evidence, document all medical care, and speak with legal professionals to ensure their rights are protected.
