Five different car crashes in Brooklyn, Manhattan and Queens have left five people dead yesterday.

At Atlantic Avenue and Buffalo Street, a Honda Accord carrying four people hit a subway station pillar (pictured; via the Post) after midnight. Two of the passengers, a 25-year-old Naquana Kilpatrick and 17-year-old Gilberto Howard, died while the 19-year-old driver and another passenger were injured.

Another car crash in Brooklyn claimed two lives: A car hit an unoccupied box truck in Canarsie on Avenue D, killing Roger Gill, who sprinted for Guyana in the 1996 Olympics, and the driver, Warren Davies.

Two cops and two civilians were injured when a police car, which was speeding to a call, crashed into a sedan at 6rth Avenue and 11th Street Greenwich Village. One report says the sedan's driver could face a ticket for failing to yield, but apparently witnesses didn't see any lights or hear any sirens from the speeding cruiser. Another police cruiser-car crash occurred at 37th Street and 5th Avenue in Manhattan, injuring two officers and a civilian.

And in Queens, a person driving on the LIE hit a guardrail around 3:30AM. The car, according to the Post, "plunged into Flushing Meadow Park, exploding into flames."
