Two Killed in Two-Vehicle Accident on Avenue U in Brooklyn, New York


Brooklyn, NY — Two people were killed in an accident in Brooklyn, New York, on Monday, June 9, 2014. The accident took place at the intersection of Avenue U and Flatbush Avenue, around 6:45 in the evening.

According to reports, the driver of a Nissan Altima traveling south on Flatbush hit a BMW turning north from Avenue U. Two people were killed in the accident, although reports haven’t made clear which vehicle the victims were in. No names in connection with the accident have been released.

Two others involved in the accident had to be extricated from their vehicle by emergency workers.

Scene of the Accident

Commentary

You can imagine scenarios in which both parties are at fault for the accident. The car traveling south on Flatbush should have seen someone moving out in front of them and slowed down. The car on Avenue U may have misjudged the speed at which the other vehicle was traveling, a tricky proposition, even for trained professionals. The truth probably lies, as it often does, somewhere in the middle. Evidence and witness accounts are going to account for a lot in how this accident moves forward, so those things are going to need to be collected now.

I'm a former employee. I had brought up this exact scenario and suggested a maintenance procedure that would eliminate the possibility of this type injury. Obviously my warning went unheeded.

I was actually a couple cars back from this wreck, one of the first on the scene, and helped administer CPR on the victims. The truck driver was going way too fast, but it was actually his trailer that swung around and hit the suv, the semi-truck ended in the median.

A lot of people say smack about lawyers, but I want to say that I'm glad there is a way that people who are wronged by corporate neglect can get justice and force change. We are living in a world where corporations and govt care less than ever about common people, and I support your work. I hope I will never need your services.

Thank you for posting these accident articles on your site. At the company that I work for, e deal with monitoring construction activity and work around trenches and all sorts of construction equipment/vehicles. I sometimes wonder if construction companies have enough safety training to inform employees of how to protect themselves while on the job.
