BQE crash

A fire broke out after a 4 car crash on the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway.

Eastbound lanes of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway were closed during rush hour on Wednesday after a fiery crash involving at least four vehicles.

It happened around 5:50 a.m. near Cadman Plaza.  One lane of traffic was moving again just before 7 a.m.

The crash caused a fuel spill and that caught fire.

There was one reported injury.  It was unclear what their condition was or if they were hospitalized.  No other details were immediately available.
