DRIVE KILLED IN ACCIDENT WHEN VAN HITS POTHOLE, RICOCHETS INTO POLE

From: New York attorney Gary E. Rosenberg (personal injury and accident attorney and lawyer; serving Brooklyn Queens Bronx; Queens Injury Attorney)

An as yet unnamed 32 year-old driver was killed and his passengers hurt and injured when their car hit a pothole, went out-of-control, and struck a telephone pole in Brooklyn in the early hours of Monday morning (1/18/2010). Reportedly, they were heading home from a night of clubbing.

The motorist was driving on Kings Highway near Tilden when his 2002 Honda Odyssey minivan struck the pothole and then the pole, throwing him out of the car. Witnesses say the driver was sucked underneath the van.

He died at the scene. Five passengers suffered injury. No criminal charges are expected.

Comment: Perhaps not an avoidable accident; but an avoidable death. Dear Readers this is my New Year's resolution: "That you all wear your seatbelts!"
