How Did This Accident Occur?
Wrong-way collisions often are attributed to impaired drivers, but in a densely urban area like The Bronx this crash could have been caused by a moped driver in a hurry to get home or a bus driver who wasn’t paying attention. I hope authorities will conduct a complete investigation of this crash so the delivery driver’s family won’t have any lingering questions about how he died.
