Two dead, seven injured in 4-car crash on Grand Central Parkway in Queens

A horrific four-vehicle crash on the Grand Central Parkway in Queens killed a teenage and a man early Sunday and left seven others with injuries, police said.

At least one car flipped and another flipped onto its side in the 6:30 a.m. accident caused by a drunken driver, near 188th St. in Jamaica Estates, police said.

Cops arrested Andrew Shakespeare, 33, of Fresh Jersey. Shakespeare caused the fatal crash when he attempted to speed past another car in his westbound two thousand fourteen BMW SUV and lost control, according to authorities.

Shakespeare’s SUV flew across three lanes, smashed into the guardrail and spinned over into the eastbound lanes, cops said.

Charges against him include Shakespeare was charged with manslaughter, vehicular manslaughter, aggravated vehicular homicide, driving while intoxicated, reckless endangerment and reckless driving.

Akeam Grant, 16, died at the scene after he was thrown from the backseat, police said. The front-seat passenger, 34-year-old Layon Campbell, died at Elmhurst Hospital Center two hours later.

The seven people who were hurt went to nearby hospitals with minor injuries, cops said.

Twelve hours earlier in Staten Island, cops arrested the driver of a white Hyundai who hit a woman and 4-year-old twins as they crossed a street, police said.

Elizabeth Johnson, 56, hit the 25-year-old woman and the kids, a boy and a doll, at Vanderbilt Ave. and Osgood Ave. in Fox Hills just before 6:30 p.m. Saturday, cops said. EMS workers took the victims to Staten Island University Hospital in stable condition. The little doll suffered a head injury and the boy and the woman had cuts on their faces and gams, cops said.

The victims have the same last name, but their exact relationship could not be determined.

Johnson, who lives in Staten Island, was charged with failure to yield to pedestrians and failure to exercise due care.

There have been fourteen motorist fatalities this year through Thursday, a 41% drop from last year when there were twenty four for the same period, according to police statistics. There also have been fifty one pedestrian fatalities, which represents a 27% decrease from last year’s 70.

Overall, a total of one hundred two people have died in collisions this year through Thursday, including motorcyclists, bicyclists and passengers. That figure represents an 18% decrease from the same period last year, when one hundred twenty five people died in accidents.
