A man was clinging to life and six others were hurt Saturday following a multiple car crash in Queens, officials said. Witnesses at the scene said the crash may have been sparked by a police pursuit, but cops could not confirm those claims late Saturday. The carnage began at about 5:30 p.m. when a Honda Civic blew a red light on 99th St. at 57th Ave. in Corona and struck two vehicles — including a Mitsubishi Montero containing five people — before striking two parked cars, officials said. Paramedics rushed seven people to area hospitals. One unidentified man pulled from the Honda was in critical condition. A second man was in serious condition. The rest had minor injuries. Witnesses said cops responded in seconds.
