Impaled B’klyn driver expected to survive

The Belt Parkway motorist who survived after being impaled by tree branch that crashed through his windshield has a grueling recovery ahead of him — but is expected to bounce back, a friend said Sunday.

“His muscles, from his back to his stomach, are ripped,” pal Hakan Turonc told The Post of critically injured Ozgur Hallacoglu.

Hallacoglu, 38, was cruising along the Belt Parkway near 88th Street in Bay Ridge around 7:45 a.m. Saturday when the limb smashed through the windshield of his red minivan — and continued clean through his torso.

The grievously injured Hallacoglu then swerved, striking several other cars before his minivan came to a rest against the center median. Rescuers painstakingly dismantled the minivan to reach Hallacoglu, then rushed him to NYU Langone Hospital, where family came to his side.

The branch had to be surgically removed from his abdomen, a hospital staffer said.

“Yesterday, his family [spent] eight hours in the hospital ,” T ur on cs aid. “He is awake, [and] when something happens, he knows it’ s happening .”

Turonc said that Hallaco- glu’s lengthy recuperation will include “three more small surgeries,” but that he’s expected to make a full recovery.

The tree fell on city property that was inspected by the Department of Transportation, the agency said.
