3 killed, 5 hurt in high-speed Long Island crash: ‘100-plus mph at least’
NY Post ^ | 08/07/2023 | Amanda Woods

Three people were killed and five others hurt – two critically – in a high-speed Long Island crash late Sunday, cops said.

A motorist was heading west on Sunrise Highway – across from a shopping center – at a “high rate of speed” when that vehicle collided with three others around 7:20 p.m., Nassau County Police said.

Three people involved in the smash-up were pronounced dead at the scene.

Five more people were taken to local hospitals – where two are listed in “critical unstable condition,” two in stable condition and one was treated and released, cops said.

First responders used the jaws of life to remove people who had become trapped in their cars, WABC reported.

Don't police usually back off on these if the speed is too high and too much traffic?

The story makes no mention of any police pursuit in this incident.

It doesn’t look like it was a police chase. Just a crazy stupid driver.

Who wants to bet the driver is a dark skinned illegal who survived while murdering three others?

I wonder if it was the driver who was treated and released. Hope not.

I think you’re right in this case. Still, it’s obviously a stupid idea to street race and play fast and furious.

I hope the offender died.

A very good friend of mine was t-boned and killed a couple of months ago. The perp has yet to be found. Too bad they don’t string people up for reckless vehicular homicide.

The unexpected consequence of defunding the police.

Nobody obeys laws.

“Just a crazy stupid driver.”

Or maybe a medical emergency that caused the driver to mash the gas?

Unfortunately this kind of behavior is becoming all too common. Lots of very reckless drivers in my state as well with zero regard for who they maim or kill

Thank goodness no electric vehicles were involved. The fire from the batteries would have killed anyone trapped.

A motorist was heading west on Sunrise Highway – across from a shopping center

That is pretty useless info from the NY Post. Sunrise Highway runs the entire length of Nassau County. Looking up Unqua Road, I see it is in Massapequa over by the Suffolk county line.

The shopping center referred to is Sunrise Mall and or the shopping center across the street.

Very likely the usual suspects. They like driving very fast, particularly females of that group.

I think each jurisdiction has its own policy.

Innocent people are in real danger from “suspects” who have no regard for them as they flee. I think young perps are actually thrilled at being like Fast and Furious drivers they saw in movies.

Worst is that the perps will get no bail or low bail, not be back for court appearance, or will get off on technicality anyway. So all the carnage was for nothing.

A true crime show rerun two nights ago said (I think from 1999): “It was apparent to the officers that the fleeing suspects were intentionally trying to involve others in the city. They deliberately weaved to the sides at 80 to 100 miles per hour.”

Spent the first 12 years of my life in Massapequa, NY. 56-68
A nice Americana suburban town to be a kid. Long Island sucks now- not geographically but all the too many Turd Worlders let in who scuzz up the place. Plus the other homegrown idiots galore. No shortage of such and ditto for across the USA.

I grew up on Long Island. Unlike shootings, reckless driving there is less race specific. There are too so many young meatheads who drive at reckless speeds for thrills. I think it’s just a NY/NJ a-hole kind of mentality mixed with high congestion areas that often lead to these fatal disasters.

I was driving down the NJ Turnpike just yesterday, and a group of 4-5 guys on sports bikes set up a 1/4-1/8 mile drag race for 2 of them along a stretch of the left lane that probably exceeded 120MPH I’m estimating by the insane rate of speed they blew by me at 70MPH. The noise really startled the hell out my 4yo daughter.

I grew up on LongIsland and went to high school in N. Massapequa. Left in 1970 and have gone back occasionally to see friends. It was a wonderful place to grow up but I don’t miss it.

Someone doing a hundred there isn’t at all unusual. To smoothly merge on to Sunrise Highway in the am I’ve hit 95 and a hundred more than once in the past two years. Most people have slowed down lately but not everyone. The cops didn’t seem to be doing anything about it.

And that when the Jaws of Life pried open the crumpled unit body, empty beer cans fell out.
