A Connecticut man is dead following an early morning crash Wednesday on the Van Wyck Expressway in Queens.
NYPD says 45-year-old Tarik Williamson was driving southbound at a “high rate of speed” when he crashed into the back of a tractor-trailer in Flushing just before 5 a.m.
Williamson was pronounced dead the scene, while the driver of the tractor-trailer was not injured.
The southbound lanes of the Van Wyck were closed for several hours but have since been reopened.
There are no arrests and the investigation is ongoing
