Yonkers Man Thrown from Jeep, Dies on Highway

From: New York attorney Gary E. Rosenberg (personal injury and accident attorney and lawyer; serving Brooklyn Queens Bronx) Maxwell Grullon, age 28, of Yonkers, was riding on the running board of his girlfriend's white Jeep, holding on to the roll bar, Saturday night at about 10:30. Apparently the two had an argument. Police report that Grullon and his girlfriend, 36-year-old Lillian Vega, were party-hopping that night, and that he was intoxicated when he died. When the car switched lanes he was thrown to the ground and died from a massive head injury. The Jeep stopped for a short time and then kept driving. Vega claims that as she was slowing down he either jumped or fell. She stopped, and not seeing him on the shoulder and angry from the fighting, she decided to let him walk home, and drove away, claiming that she did not know he was hurt. No criminal charges have been filed.
