A multi-vehicle wreck on the outbound Gowanus Expressway left at least one person injured and a car upended.
As many as four vehicles collided on the westbound Gowanus Expressway at Seventh Avenue in Bay Ridge at around 6:15 a.m.
Video from the scene showed one of cars wedged under another car that could be seen standing on its nose.
Following a 30-minute extrication, the person in the crushed vehicle was removed and taken to Lutheran Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries.
The Gowanus Expressway outbound at Fort Hamilton Parkway had all lanes closed.
The inbound HOV lane is also blocked and rubbernecking delays inbound stretch back across the Verrazano Bridge onto the Staten Island Expressway and back to Victory Boulevard.
Delays stretched back to Staten Island over the Verrazano Bridge.

If nobody died, its a nes!
Clevelandrocks – Azoi? How’s that koolaid in Ohio? A real nes is no accident at all. A real nes is no traffic on the BQE and SI Expwy. You sound like the “entrepreneur” who sets fire to a building and then sells fire extinguishers to the people trying to get out. You’re a real hero. Nothing short of a miracle!
