One teen was killed and three other people were injured Sunday night in a Queens crash, cops said.
A 17-year-old boy was driving a Honda sedan north on 231st St. with two passengers when their car T-boned a Nissan SUV driven by a 20-year-old man at 119th Ave. in Cambria Heights at 6:11 p.m., police sources said.
Horrified witnesses were seen saying prayers as emergency workers rushed to extricate the pinned passengers.
“They were dug up from the car by the firefighters,” said Mirle Pike, 60, who lives on the block. “It wasn’t chaotic, but people were praying.”
The front-seat passenger of the Honda, who was in his late teens, was rushed to Franklin General Hospital in Long Island, where he died, police said. His name has not been released.
The distraught driver of the Honda paced anxiously after the collision, Mirle said.
“He was psychotic,” she said.
The drivers and the back-seat passenger of the Honda, a 19-year-old woman, were taken to Long Island Jewish Hospital in stable condition, police sources said.
Cops were investigating the cause of the crash late Sunday, police said.
