Queens, NY (August 25, 2025) – A multi-vehicle crash in the Maspeth neighborhood of Queens left one person injured Monday following a collision involving four vehicles. The incident occurred at the intersection of South 6th Ave and Maurice Ave, a busy junction frequently used by both commercial and commuter traffic.
Authorities arrived at the scene quickly after receiving reports of a chain-reaction crash. EMS personnel assessed those involved, treating one injured individual at the scene and transporting them to a nearby hospital for additional evaluation. While the injuries were not believed to be life-threatening, they did require medical attention.
The crash caused significant congestion in the surrounding area, as the intersection was partially blocked by damaged vehicles and emergency response activity. Crews worked to clear the scene and restore normal traffic flow within the hour.
Preliminary information suggests that the crash may have occurred due to abrupt braking or following too closely, though an official cause has not yet been confirmed. Investigators are reviewing witness statements and any available surveillance footage as part of the ongoing review.
Our thoughts are with the individual who was hurt, and we wish them a full and fast recovery.
Multi-Vehicle Crashes in Queens Neighborhoods
Crashes involving multiple vehicles—like the four-car collision in Maspeth—often result in more complex injury patterns and property damage. At intersections such as S 6th Ave and Maurice Ave, where traffic from industrial and residential areas converge, the risks increase due to varied vehicle types, delivery routes, and limited visibility.
While only one injury was reported in this case, it’s important to understand that even moderate-impact crashes can result in delayed pain or mobility issues. Neck and back injuries, in particular, may take hours or days to fully manifest. Victims often need continued care, documentation, and support beyond the initial scene.
In New York, the no-fault insurance system provides a framework for accessing basic medical benefits, but many injured individuals face challenges when navigating paperwork, billing, and long-term care options—especially in multi-vehicle incidents where responsibility is shared or disputed.
