Brooklyn, NY – Multi-Vehicle Crash on E 8th St with Injuries

Brooklyn, NY (September 14, 2024) – On September 14, a chaotic scene unfolded in Gravesend, Brooklyn, on East 8th Street, as a multi-vehicle collision involving a van and several other cars. The incident, which took place near the 2178 block of East 8th Street, saw a large crowd of onlookers who had seemingly gathered at the location prior to the crash. According to witness reports, the collision involved an individual who allegedly struck up to four other vehicles while driving through the area.

The exact cause of the crash is still under investigation. Eyewitnesses stated that the driver hit one car and continued to collide with others as he sped down the block. The damage to the vehicles was significant, with several showing visible signs of wreckage, from shattered tires to rear-end impacts. Residents of the area and other victims quickly gathered around the scene, some reportedly detaining the suspect until law enforcement arrived.

Once on-site, the police took control of the situation, interviewing witnesses and assessing the damage. Those who required further care and evaluation were transported to nearby medical facilities. However, the extent of injuries remains unclear, though it is known that a police officer was among those present at the scene, monitoring the suspect and victims. The crash reportedly spanned an entire block, causing further disruption to the already-congested residential street. As investigations continue, authorities have advised the public to avoid the area and remain cautious while passing through.

We send our best wishes to all the injured victims as we hope for their rapid recovery.
