Skateboarder shot after crashing into BMW in Queens, sparking fight

A skateboarder was shot in the leg after crashing into a BMW in Queens, sparking a fight with the driver and passenger, police said Wednesday.

The 25-year-old victim was nearing 39th Place and 47th Ave. in Sunnyside when he collided with a BMW sedan about 11:40 p.m. Tuesday, cops said.

The small impact sparked a big argument between the skateboarder and the two men in the BMW.

As the quarrel escalated, the BMW passenger whipped out a gun and opened fire, blasting the skateboarder once in the leg, cops said.

Medics took the victim to Elmhurst Hospital, where he was expected to recover.

The shooter and his accomplice sped off in the BMW and have not been caught.
