A Corona man was killed in a chain-reaction collision on the Grand Central Parkway in Jamaica Hills on Sunday morning.
Police from the 107th Precinct in Fresh Meadows responded to a 911 call of a vehicle collision on the Grand Central near Parsons Boulevard and found several vehicles, including a Mercedes-Benz sedan that had flipped.
On Monday, the NYPD identified the driver as Manuel Torres, 22, of 101st Street in Corona. He was unconscious and unresponsive when he was removed from the wreckage. EMS responded to the location and pronounced Torres deceased at the scene.
A preliminary investigation by the NYPD Highway District’s Collision Investigation Squad determined that Torres had been traveling eastbound on the Grand Central when he collided with two other vehicles that were also heading eastbound. The Mercedes sedan then overturned and collided with a fourth vehicle before coming to a rest.
There were no arrests and the investigation remains ongoing by the NYPD Highway District’s Collision Investigation Squad.
