A church group from the Church of God of Prophecy, out of South Ozone Park, was traveling back to New York City from visiting Niagara Falls when the van they were traveling in crashed and overturned. The driver of the van attempted to avoid an uninvolved vehicle that changed lanes, and he overcorrected causing the van to lose control and overturn numerous times. He was not hurt in the crash.
The Thruway was shut down for several hours so police could investigate. No criminal charges are pending, and no tickets were issued.
