An elderly man was killed and seven others hurt — including a 9-year-old girl — in a four-car pileup near the Kosciuszko Bridge Thursday, authorities and sources said.
A 46-year-old man was behind the wheel of a pickup truck when he struck another car – driven by a 75-year-old man with a 9-year-old girl riding inside – around 10:50 a.m. on the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, just before the entrance to the span leading to north Brooklyn, cops and sources said.
The second car flipped on impact, according to the sources.
Two additional cars were struck in the wreck, sources said.
Eight people were hurt in the crash — including the senior – who was rushed to the Elmhurst Hospital Center, where he was pronounced dead, police said.
A man is dead after a three-vehicle collision on the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway.
Four others were hurt, including a 9-year-old girl.
Four more victims were rushed to the same hospital, including the young girl, who was listed in stable condition. Another person was listed in critical condition, police said.
The girl’s exact relationship to the man was not immediately known.
Video posted on Citizen shows one vehicle precariously rolled on its side against the highway barrier, alongside a pickup truck smashed up in the back.
A stopped green, outer-borough taxi can also be seen on the rainy road.
The westbound Kosciuszko Bridge was closed in the aftermath of the collision.
