A speeding motorist was killed in a fiery crash early yesterday when he lost control of his sports car and landed smack in front of Jamaica Hospital, police said.
The body was burned beyond recognition. The BMW had been zooming south on the Van Wyck Expressway at 2:15 a.m. when the driver exited at State Road West and 91st Avenue, then slammed into a tree just outside the hospital’s Pavilion for Nursing and Rehabilitation.
Flames trapped him in a mangled mess of molten steel, and he was pronounced dead at the scene once firefighters had extinguished the blaze.
