Two people were killed and two more were injured in a car crash on Long Island’s Southern State Parkway on Sunday night.
The victims have not been publicly identified. The injured people were seriously injured and taken to a local hospital, WABC reported.
All four victims were in the same car, and only one car was found at the scene, according to Newsday.
The vehicle was traveling eastbound through North Massapequa on the Southern State Parkway and crashed near Exit 30 around 11 p.m., WPIX reported. The eastbound lanes were closed for six hours overnight but reopened before 6 a.m. Monday for morning commuters.
Regular drivers told News 12 Long Island that the area is known for speeding and reckless driving.
“The Southern State Parkway going east between exits 29 to 31, frequent accidents because people are zigging in and out and they’re speeding,” driver Ashley McQueen told the outlet.
The wrecked car landed upside down in the middle of the grassy median between on- and off-ramps, and there were collision marks on a tree, according to News 12. Additionally, an exit sign had been knocked down, and car parts were strewn around the area.
New York State Police are investigating the incident.
