Car Crashes into Popular Restaurant then Flees the Scene

by Stephen Bilkis

A car drove straight through the window of a very popular Deli in South Loop and then drove off without stopping. The incident was not reported until the next day when a delivery driver noticed the damage and reported it to police. There were no injuries.

When officers attended the scene they investigated exactly what had happened explained a prominent expert. They found that the glass was shattered and there was a hole in the wall. Among the debris, there was a lot of automobile parts. The police searched the local area looking for damaged vehicles which could be the culprit, but none were found.

The report says that police believe a 1990’s Chrysler Concorde or Cirrus was the vehicle which crashed into the building due to a piece of broken taillight which was found. Using sophisticated databases and computer software police were able to pinpoint the year, the make and model of car. Based on paint transfer at the scene it is also believed that the car is white.

Driver Left After Traffic Accident

by Stephen Bilkis

The driver of an old van is wanted for causing a car accident and not waiting to exchange details. Instead he just drove off.

A report handed to a policeman explains that the driver of the van left the side of the road at speed. At the time he was towing a heavy pickup truck. The van tried to pull away so quickly that the tires were spinning viciously on the pavement which generated a lot of smoke. The truck behind was slowly bringing up the rear.

According to the report, passersby reported that it looked like the towing hitch on the rear of the van broke and released the vehicle which was being towed. This meant that the pickup truck was released from the van where it slammed into a back of a car parked by the side of the road.

New study shows injuries from car crashes cause more chronic pain than other injuries

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.

Tragic Death of and Auto Sales Founder

by Stephen Bilkis

Pete Peters was a well-known and deeply respected man who left his mark on the community of Amherst County. Our time on this earth is precious, and we never really know when it is coming to a close, this was tragically the case with Pete Peters, who passed away this week.

According to a NY Car Accident Lawyer, Pete was the beloved founder of Pete’s Auto Sales, where he was known as one of the county’s finest businessmen. Peters, who was only 73, died on February 16th, due to injuries inflicted on the 3rd of February following a car accident that took place while he was commuting from Northern Virginia. The vehicle that Pete Peters was driving was intended for sale. This was not a hit and run. In Manhattan and Nassau County, Hit and runs are taken very seriously and penalties are heavy.

Next year was supposed to mark the 50 year anniversary of Pete’s business. A New York Car Accident Lawyer expands that Pete was proud of his business and was considered to be a real people person. People often stopped at Pete’s Auto Sales for advice and directions. Pete’s sister revealed that after Pete got out of the Army Reserve, his grandfather helped him start the business in 1962. A New York Injury Lawyer shares that Pete was very involved in the community, he supported the local fire-fighters, sponsored a Dixie youth baseball team, and was a very active Gideon.

Salvation Army Church Damaged Following Car Accident

by Stephen Bilkis

Last weekend, a car collided with a local church in Nassau and crashed through one of the walls. The building which was owned by the Salvation Army, is currently considered unusable pending an engineer’s evaluation, explains a reporter. The building was used for many different purposes in the community including a church, outreach and childcare.

The incident took place around midnight when the building was entirely empty; the church building very rarely holds events which take place at that time of night. The Salvation Army has had operations at the location for over fifty years and has no plans to relocate following the incident.

The driver of the silver sedan and the one passenger were spotted leaving the scene of the incident. The fact that they fled makes it likely that both people could face hit and run charges. The two people could not have been sure that no one was in the building at the time of the crash. Police immediately informed the director of the facility about the accident and requested that they come to the scene.
