Staten Island, NY (June 15, 2025) – One person was injured Sunday in a car crash at the intersection of the Staten Island Expressway westbound and Victory Blvd in the Willowbrook neighborhood. The collision occurred in the afternoon and caused temporary traffic disruptions in the area.
Emergency responders arrived promptly at the scene and provided medical care to the injured individual, who was subsequently transported to a nearby hospital for further evaluation. The exact nature of their injuries has not been disclosed, and no additional individuals were reported to be injured.
This stretch of the Staten Island Expressway is a high-traffic corridor, serving as a key access point to residential areas, shopping centers, and major route connectors. The merging area between the expressway and Victory Blvd is notorious for sudden lane changes and heavy traffic, factors that contribute to rear-end and side-impact collisions.
The NYPD and FDNY are investigating the cause of the incident. While the official cause remains unclear, authorities are considering speed, traffic signal compliance, and potential driver distraction as contributing factors.
We wish the injured individual a swift and full recovery.
