All four men were riding a 1949 Oldsmobile Sedan which was being driven by Ludmerer. According to reports, the Oldsmobile skidded to the accident point somewhere about one half mile near Kiamesha. According to Ludmerer, the car swerved, skidded and hit a stanchion before it went off the road and finally stopping at a ditch ahead.

The expert also got the report that according to the testimony of Portnoy, immediately before the car accident happened, he felt the car passed by some pebbles and stones some 2 to 3 feet along Route 42. He also further testified that about a week or two before the accident, he had been walking on the same route and saw that there were sand and dirt thick enough to cover the pavement but failed to describe the exact thickness of the dirt.

He said he did not remember seeing any dirt or pebbles on the road that night. He also said that we was not really paying attention on the actual road. At the hospital he casually mentioned to the State Trooper that he thought he was probably going too fast. But this part was not mentioned on his testimony on the court.

Call for action at crash corner

by Stephen Bilkis

A local couple is trying to make a notorious intersection safer. Many cars have crashed there and the latest car accidents involved several vehicles on Saturday in the afternoon. A NYC Car Accident Attorney also points out that there have been dozens of accidents here over the past year.

The local residents are trying to campaign to install give way signs and islands in the center of the road to make the junction much safer. The local residents themselves were almost involved in a serious accident at the same intersection around one month ago. This made them realize just how dangerous this intersection really is.

The couple was driving south when there was another car driving west. The smaller car sped through the intersection without stopping. This narrowly missed their vehicle as it got across slightly before them. This was a very frightening experience as it only just missed the side of the car.

by Stephen Bilkis

It was revealed today that a recent study shows people are more likely to develop chronic pain from injuries after a hit and run car accident than after other physically traumatic events.

The study took place in Scotland and involved 2,069 people who were asked three times over a course of four years about musculoskeletal pain and related stress, related a doctor. They were asked if they had experienced any of these six physically traumatic events: traffic crash, surgery, workplace accident, fracture, hospitalization, or child birth.

33% of the 241 people in the study with chronic widespread pain were much more likely than other participants to report at least one physically traumatic event during the study period.
