by Stephen Bilkis

An observer described a car accident involving four cars that killed one woman at the scene and left a man severely injured.

It appeared that the 40-year-old man was driving a black SUV and smashed into the 64-year-olds car at an intersection. On impact, both cars spun out of control into the middle of the intersection where they also crashed into two other vehicles, the person recounted.

He explained that the police had arrested and planned on testing the driver of the SUV for drugs and alcohol. The man’s behavior and the nature of the accident were classic signs for driving under the influence, police observed.

by Stephen Bilkis

A NY Car Accident Lawyer explained that police were called when a vehicle struck into a building on Thursday Evening. The accident happened close to the intersection of Highway 73 and Columbus Street.

The police department said that before they even reached the scene there were reports of a stolen truck. The truck was stolen from Stark Street and was reported by its owner. When police arrived at the scene they immediately discovered that the truck which crashed was in fact the Chevy truck which was stolen.

The truck crashed into Fred’s Service Center just off Highway 73. This resulted in thousands of dollars of damage which was caused by the driver of the stolen truck. The business is a family business which specializes in servicing and repairing vehicles. The truck slammed into the side of the building at speed.

“This heart-wrenching story has been in the news for a few weeks,” said a NY Car accident Lawyer. “These were all nice kids with bright futures and it all came to an end with one mistake,” he added.

A 20-year-old girl was driving with three passengers in her car when the tired student fell asleep, hit a tree and caused two of her good friends’ deaths.

The girls were all pledging the same sorority and were on their way to yet another pledging event when this happened. Thankfully there was no alcohol or drugs involved and therefore no DWI or drunk driving was charged.

Three People Injured After Vehicle Hits Utility Poles

by Stephen Bilkis

A car crash sent three people, one man and two women, to the hospital for a variety of injuries. While it is unknown the extent of their injuries, both women had to have surgery. The man suffered a few minor injuries, but did not have to have surgery. The women have been listed in stable condition. The man has since been released from the hospital. He was accused of distracted driving. In New York City and Queens this is a common occurrence.

Speeding is the alleged cause for the crash that happened on a Tuesday around 11pm. The man driving the car lost control and crashed into two utility poles. According to a New York Injury Lawyer, it was estimated by police that the car skidded on the road for at least 70 feet before hitting the poles. No other vehicles were involved in the accident. It is unknown how fast the car was traveling at the time. Police officials may be able to estimate the speed of the car by testing the tire tracks and skid marks. Charges may be pending, but so far, no one has been arrested.

It is unclear how road conditions were the night of the accident. Rain soaked roads make traveling at fast speeds very unsafe. It is also unclear if the man was under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the accident, says a New York Car Accident Lawyer. Further investigation is necessary to determine the exact cause of the accident. Police may need to interview witnesses and the driver and passengers to learn more about why the accident occurred.
