Medical Event Led To 10-Vehicle Accident On Long Island

Nine people were hospitalized Tuesday after a chain-reaction accident involving ten cars on Long Island. The crash happened at about 12:05 p.m. at Route 110 and Bentley Street in North Amityville. Police say a 76-year-old man driving a Lexus sedan suffered a medical event and sped up to a red light on Route 110. "I was sitting at the last light back there and the Lexus went flying by probably around 100 miles per hour," said East Meadow resident Michael Browne. "I continued after the green light and by the time I got to this light it looked like a tidal wave in the air."
