As a result, he collided with the rear of a 2008 Honda Accord, driving by the 42-year-old man with a 36-year-old woman riding as a passenger.<\/p>\n<p>The impact caused the Toyota Camry to overturn on the parkway, and violently threw the 19-year-old and 16-year-old male passengers onto the pavement.\n<\/p>\n<p>Officers from the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nypd109pct\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">109th Precinct<\/a> and NYPD Highway Patrol, along with EMS units, rushed to the scene.

The 36-year-old female passenger in the Honda Accord refused medical attention at the scene.<\/p>\n<p>So far, no arrests have been made in the ongoing investigation, police said.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 19-year-old man clings to life at a Queens hospital on Sunday after being critically injured in a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":339362,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[10392,2153,127451,127452,91239,16458,9,24,114853,63,103,127453,122,124,123,127454,91237,34527,29578,47723],"class_list":["post-339361","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-queens","tag-109th-precinct","tag-car-accident","tag-critically-injured","tag-cross-island-parkway","tag-honda-accord","tag-jacobi-hospital","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-newyork-presbyterian-queens","tag-nyc","tag-nypd","tag-nypd-highway-patrol","tag-queens","tag-queens-headlines","tag-queens-news","tag-teen-injured","tag-toyota-camry","tag-traffic-crash","tag-traffic-safety","tag-whitestone"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/339361","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=339361"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/339361\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/339362"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=339361"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=339361"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=339361"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
