A chain reaction car accident left three people injured and one dead on Route 38 East in Hainesport. The accident occurred at around 1:58 p.m. on a Friday afternoon. A driver in a Toyota Prius was stopped at the intersection at County Route 675 when a Chrysler 300 driving eastbound struck the back of the Prius.
That caused the Prius to collide with a Toyota RAV4 and a Honda Pilot, and then it struck a traffic site. The RAV4 struck the Honda Pilot before hitting the concrete barrier in the center of the street. The driver of the Prius died at the scene of the accident.
