The BQE is back up and running after a massive accident left 59 people injured and closed off eastbound lanes for a good portion of the morning following rush hour. A school bus, a casino bus and a tractor trailed were involved with what the Daily News calls a chain reaction accident just before the Kosciuszko Bridge connecting Brooklyn and Queens near the McGuinness Blvd. exit and not far from the Midtown Tunnel. A large majority of the victims were treated at the scene for bumps and bruises. Six people were taken to local hospitals. Newsday says that two went to the Wyckhoff and Woodhull Hospitals in Brooklyn and the other four "were taken to an unknown medical facility by a Hatzolah ambulance, which is operated by Jewish volunteers." Newsmap also shows what appears to be a second accident on nearby westbound lanes, where an overturned chicken truck shut down the highway while waiting for sanitation to clean up.

Wait what? The Kosciusko Bride is nowhere near LIC and the BQE doesn't connect to the Midtown Tunnel...
Yeah, the only LIC connection is that if you heading there while going West on the BQE you'd probably take that exit -- McGuinness Blvd. Then head across the Pulaski Bridge, and you're in LIC, near the Midtown Tunnel. Don't take that exit and you'll get to the Kosciusko.
But the bridge is right before/after the Midtown Tunnel exit off the BQE. Article is not that far off.
I'm sure the whole thing was caused by some activist-liberal-terrorist cyclist since, according to Hunter College, they're the only ones breaking traffic laws.
Mayor Bloomberg, if you read this, please remove all cars from the city. They are a hazard to us all
59 injured people are not laughing.
Casino buses, chicken trucks and jewish ambulances? I smell a musical...
BQE is right there with the Cross Bronx Expressway in being the worst highways in NYC. I don't know what's better the BQE or the Cross Bronx Expressway?
