Video shows all-out brawl after trucks crash flipping one on its side on Long Island
LINDENHURST, Suffolk County (WABC) -- A wild brawl involving as many as ten people was captured on video after a two-vehicle crash in which a truck was flipped on its side on Long Island.
According to Suffolk Police, the two trucks crashed just after 12:30 p.m. Wednesday on Sunrise Highway near North Green Avenue in North Lindenhurst.
A minutes-long fight then broke out between two groups of men and teens.
"Saw a bunch of guys, probably five on five, swinging baseball bats and two-by-fours," Spiffy Car Wash Express owner Todd Christman said. "My understanding is nobody was seriously hurt, but some people were in the hospital."
Two men, Patrick O'Connor, Sr. and James O'Connor, and a teenager were each charged with two counts of second-degree assault.
James O'Connor was also charged with two counts of reckless endangerment, two counts of endangering the welfare of a child and leaving the scene of an accident.
It's not clear what led to the massive fight, but police say everyone involved knew each other.
