Westchester Man Killed In Fiery Brooklyn Bridge Crash [WATCH]

SCARSDALE, NY — A 32-year-old Scarsdale man was died as a result of a fiery crash Wednesday on the Brooklyn Bridge. Kristopher Hambas was killed in the six-car crash on the Brooklyn-bound side around 7 a.m.

The fire that ensued engulfed three of the vehicles and snarled traffic on the day before Thanksgiving.

NYPD said the preliminary investigation revealed that a 48-year-old operator of a 2004 Ford pick-up was traveling Brooklyn-bound on the bridge when it rear-ended a 2017 Nissan, which caused the Nissan to strike the center median, according to a press release.

After the initial collision, the Ford rear-ended a 2017 Volkswagen, which caused the Volkswagen to strike the southside cement barrier and then caught fire.

The Volkswagen rear-ended a fourth vehicle, a 2006 GMC SUV, that struck the rear of a 2003 GMC SUV, which then struck the rear of a 2010 Jeep Liberty.

The operator of the Ford pick-up truck and a 51-year-old operator of the 2006 GMC SUV were removed to Brooklyn Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

All other persons involved in the collision refused medical attention at the scene.

There are no arrests and the investigation remains ongoing by the NYPD's Highway Collision Investigation Squad.
