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 men 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."
James O'Connor, 19, 38-year-old Patrick O'Connor, Sr and a 16-year-old Patrick O'Connor, Jr 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.
