None of the injuries were considered life-threatening.
According to police, one vehicle, a Toyota Prius, may have been going westbound in the eastbound lanes of the BQE just before a head-on collision near the Broadway exit. He collided with a Chrysler and a Mercedes.
Police said that because officers did not observe the car driving the wrong way the driver would not be given a summons, 1010 WINS reported.
Traffic on both the northbound and southbound lanes was at a standstill around 5:15 p.m.
