How Did This Accident Occur?
Looking at where this accident occurred, it’s not the sort of bright lights, city street one typically pictures when they think “New York.” It’s a relatively narrow road lined with trees that would no doubt be rather dark at night. That said, it doesn’t automatically mean the driver had no way of seeing or avoiding the pedestrian. If the pedestrian was on the correct side of the fog line, if they were in a well-lit spot, or if they were otherwise reasonably avoidable, that might raise questions about what this truck driver was doing and if a reasonably prudent driver could have avoided this.
It might help if authorities can secure cellphone data to possibly rule out distraction, and if the truck or a nearby building had a camera, that video could also help provide answers the victim’s loved ones deserve. In the meantime, if anyone knows about this stretch of road or knows what pedestrian traffic is like in the area, leave a comment and share your thoughts.
