Collisions on major roadways like the Whitestone Expressway can be dangerous due to the high speeds and heavy traffic that often occur, particularly near exit ramps. The intersection at Exit 13A is a crucial junction that connects drivers to other roads, making it a common site for accidents. In this case, factors such as speeding, distracted driving, or poor weather conditions may have contributed to the crash.
As the investigation continues, authorities will likely review evidence from traffic cameras, witness statements, and vehicle details to determine the cause of the incident.
