Brooklyn Hit-and-Run Auto Accident Proves Fatal

ADVERTISEMENTS

An unidentified motorist was burned to death following a car crash in Brooklyn. The New York Post reports that the victim was driving a Ford Taurus eastbound on 65th Street when a blue Dodge Caravan going north on 21st Avenue crashed into it. The two vehicles then hit a number of parked cars. The Taurus caught fire and the driver of the Caravan left the scene of the accident. The driver of the Taurus died at the scene. Police are seeking the public's help to locate the hit-and-run suspect.

Leaving the scene of a car crash in New York is a serious crime. Under New York law, if you are involved in a crash, you are required to stop and exchange information. If the other party is injured, it is your duty to assist the injured victim and remain at the scene until authorities arrive. Hit-and-run victims and their families usually suffer a great deal. Families of deceased victims are left with funeral expenses and must also handle the financial strain of losing a wage earner, not to mention the emotional trauma of losing a loved one.
