Two critically injured after car crashes into semi truck
Two men are in critical condition after slamming their car into a tractor-trailer near Kennedy airport on Monday night.
The pair was driving a Dodge Charger westbound on Rockaway Boulevard near JFK’s Logistics Center at 6:21 p.m. when they smashed into a semi truck so hard their car became lodged under the big rig, police and witnesses said.
Emergency responders had to rip apart the mangled car to rescue the bloodied passengers, according to witnesses.
“They were cutting the car with hacksaws trying to get the people out of their car,” said Michael Bogdan, 49. “When they pulled them out they were not moving. They were bloody.”
The truck was making a left into the shipping center when the Charger slammed into it, according to Bogdan.
Paramedics took both victims to Jamaica Hospital, cops said.
Police do not suspect any criminality but are continuing to investigate, a department spokesman said.
