Car Collided With A Tree On Eastern Parkway

At around 4:05am an SUV with three occupants collided with a tree. The incident took place on Eastern Parkway between Troy and Albany, where the passengers in the SUV had apparently been coming back from a party and according to the driver of the SUV a Car Service had cut him off, forcing him to swerve off the road and collide with the tree. The driver of the car service said he was just swiped from the rear by the SUV and then they just went into the tree.

One occupant was treated for minor injuries and transported to Kings County Hospital, all of the others refused medical attention. The police were looking into the possibility that the driver of the SUV may have been intoxicated.

  • Innocent Until Proven Guilty

    Give the driver the benefit of the doubt. Was he actually drunk? Not for sure. He MAY have been intoxicated. Or he MAY have lost control of the car. Or, he MAY have been forced to swerve, if anyone read that first paragraph.
    He’s not necessarily guilty of anything. In fact, maybe the other driver is at fault. Please, if you don’t know the whole story, don’t make assumptions and claim them as correct.
