Otsego County, NY — Officials are reporting that an accident with a FedEx truck left a 16-year old boy dead last Friday. The accident took place in Otsego County, New York, around five in the afternoon.
The report indicates that four people were traveling along County Road 40 when they collided with a parked FedEx delivery truck.
Of those inside the car at the time, the 16-year old boy was the only one killed.
The names of those involved have not been released. The accident is still being investigated.
Scene of the Accident
Commentary
There are a couple of things we need to be looking at with this accident. One, the FedEx truck. The news reports say that it was parked at the time of the accident. Where was it parked? Is it possible that it was parked illegally? The second thing we need to look at it is the driver of the car. Reports say only that the 16-year old was in the car, so I’m assuming that he wasn’t driving. Is it possible the driver shouldn’t have been behind the wheel? Was he driving recklessly? Hopefully, these are things the police report will be able to shed some light on. Without answers to these questions, we won’t really know how to proceed here.
