Recent Injury to Young Football Player

by Stephen Bilkis

A young man was recently involved in a single car accident as he ran into a retaining wall around a single family residence. The young man, who is still in high school, received numerous injuries in the accident; he had had his driver’s license for less than two years at the time of the accident.

The young man, who has played football on the varsity team, received burns of the majority of his body. This will mostly likely keep him from participating in the fall season; burns can take several months to heal depending on the severity of the burns. In this case, the driver, who was alone in the car at the time of the incident, was able to survive the crash because witnesses helped him escape from the vehicle as it was engulfed in flames.

It is unknown what distracted the driver and caused him to crash into the wall in the first place. There was no sign that the boy tried to stop the car as he went off the road. Preliminary reports had not determined what speed the car was traveling when the accident occurred, only that the car was going fast enough to cause the fire.

Mark Anthony Spano died in a car accident

by Stephen Bilkis

Mark Anthony Spano died in a car accident. He hit a tree with his car and died. In a trial, filed by Leonard Spano as the Administrator of the Goods, Chattels and Credits of Mark Anthony the trial court found that they were not able to establish at initial look the negligence that was supposed to have been committed by Deputy Edward H. McAvoy. In their case, they claimed that spotlight that was used by Deputy McAvoy reflected in the decedent’s rearview mirror and temporarily blinded him, which in turn caused him not to see the tree and hit it and die. A witness said that the court did not find any evidence where they could somewhat infer that the deputy’s spot light can blind a driver.

A case was filed with the Appellate Court to appeal against the decision. The court looked at the evidence presented, said a juror. The only testimony regarding the length of time the spotlight on was from the defendant Deputy McAvoy. He testified and in his sworn statement, that the spotlight was on for about three seconds. He also swears that he did not see Mark Anthony Spano’s car hit the tree. Where evidence shows that he was just about five seconds or about 500 feet behind the decedent’s car. With this distance, he has a clear view if the car before him, and the tree. This creates a doubt about his testimony regarding how long the spotlight was on.

Another question about his statement was that it was given three hours after. It was given to an investigator whom the sheriff hired. The statement itself showed that the defendant reviewed it very thoroughly before he signed it as there were corrections that he initialed by hand. It was mentioned by a source that it narrated Deputy McAvoy turning on his spotlight and focused it on the rear window of the pursued vehicle. There was no mention of when he turned off the spotlight, if he did. The records also showed that within four days from the accident, the investigator did a follow-up investigation to clarify Deputy McAvoy’s statement. In the additional report, it is said that Deputy McAvoy turned off the spotlight as the decedent’s car crossed the intersection. He said that it was because it was hard to drive and control the spotlight at the same time. Nassau and Suffolk have the same problems.
