LONG ISLAND CITY, Queens (WABC) — Nine cars crashed on the westbound Long Island Expressway in Queens, with some cars piled on top of others.<\/p>\n

It happened Friday morning on the LIE at 25th Street in Long Island City.<\/p>\n

At least three people were hurt. Their injuries did not appear to be life threatening.<\/p>\n

The injured could be seen being lifted on a backboard over the center median to a waiting ambulance on the other side.<\/p>\n

The HOV lane remained open, but all others on the westbound side were closed as the vehicles were towed from the scene.<\/p>\n

Traffic at 10 a.m. was backed up all the way to Elmhurst, Queens.<\/p>\n

The cause of the crash is under investigation.<\/p>\n
