by Stephen Bilkis

A wrongful death action was filed arising from an accident involving a truck driver and the deceased man, a bicyclist, which caused the death of the young man.

At the time of the accident, a 40-year old man was driving a white Mac Truck, which was 40 feet long, to Bloomingdales to make a daily deliver. The driver is a tractor-trailer driver for a company which delivers merchandise to retailers. The Mac Truck was owned by the company where the driver works for. The driver said he was unsure if the truck had any blindspots, that it was dark outside, and that there were street lights and lighting illuminating the area from adjacent stores.

The driver maintained that before the Truck accident, he was driving in the second lane from the left on Third Avenue and approaching its intersection with 59th Street. He estimated that the maximum amount of speed he was traveling was about five to six miles per hour. He maintained that prior to the accident he had a clear and unobstructed view of the intersection, that he did not see the deceased man in his bicycle prior to the impact, and only became aware of the accident after he had heard a loud “pop” sound emanating from the right front passenger side of the truck. At the scene of the accident, the truck driver was not issued any traffic citations, however, he later voluntarily turned himself in to the 17th Precinct of the New York City Police Department where he received a desk appearance ticket for driving with a suspended New York license.

Fuel Leak When Semi Truck Crashes

by Stephen Bilkis

Oil and diesel fuel were spilled in a semi-truck accident in July of 2000 on Highway 195 near Pullman. The 50-year-old driver was injured.

The man, who was driving a 1998 International semi-tractor trailer, had to receive stitches to bind up a cut to his head and was admitted to the Pullman Memorial Hospital for overnight observation. A source says it is common when certain signs are present to hold a patient overnight to ensure no further damage was done to the brain or other parts of the body.

According to a state patrol trooper in Nassau, the driver was looking at a map when the truck went off the side of the road and into a ditch where it hit a plow.

Tanker Truck Accident Kills 1 Person

by Stephen Bilkis

A tanker truck which crashed into a bridge burst into flames and killed one person, explains a witness. The accident forced the authorities to close down Interstate 485 early in Wednesday morning.

The truck struck a bridge support which weakened and damaged the bridge. This gave the police enough concern to close down the road until it could be checked by a structural engineer. This was done to protect the safety of drivers who were using the road.

The police accident report has been obtained by the Lawyer. This report says that one person has been killed in the truck accident. However, the police have not yet released the name of the victim or the case of his death. It has been said that the person had already died before the time the emergency services could respond to save the victim.
