Two dead in car wreck involving semis

by Stephen Bilkis

Anytime an 18-wheeler is involved in a car wreck, the results are never pretty, said the NY City Car Accident Lawyer. This case is a prime example of a terrible wreck that killed two elderly people; a pastor and his wife. The collision happened at an intersection and involved two semis. Somehow or other, the pastor’s vehicle was caught in between the two trucks and the truck behind them rear ended their car, causing an underride accident.

The police want to know a whole lot more about this accident and are asking anyone with any information to come forward. They want to find out if anyone saw the accident or saw the two trucks just before the accident. Given the fact that the truck behind the car rear-ended them, indicates that he was not paying attention to the road and it may also indicate he was speeding, as the force of the impact shoved the car under the truck in front, commented the New York Injury Lawyer.

Accidents like this are devastating for the family left behind and in this case, the family would likely have a solid wrongful death case to take to a personal injury lawyer. There will be other things that the police all over, including Nassau and Suffolk Counties, want to find out, including what the trucker was doing before the accident. In cases like this where a truck rear-ends another vehicle, you can count on the fact that the driver was not paying attention to driving.

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.
