A firetruck with lights and sirens on caused a chain-reaction crash killing one and injuring 11 in Brooklyn, including five firefighters taken to hospital, police said.
- On Tuesday, a chain-reaction crash in the Gravesend neighborhood, Brooklyn, involving an FDNY firetruck and three other vehicles at Avenue S and West 11th Street sent a dozen people to hospitals with at least 10 injured.
