A 60-year-old driver died Sunday morning after he slammed into a parked van, damaging at least four other cars on the Jamaica road, police said.
The man was believed to be intoxicated, according to law enforcement sources.
The crash happened on Lakeview Blvd East near 118th Road around 7 a.m. Sunday when the man, whose name was not released pending family notification, lost control of his car and crashed into the parked vehicles, police said.
Photos from the scene show a white sedan with a demolished front end and a shattered front windshield. The car appears to have smashed into the rear of Spectrum van, pushing it into the row of cars parked ahead.
EMTs rushed the man to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
The NYPD is still investigating the accident.
