    Dear Jewish Lady:

    Get yourself to a physician immediately!

    #1- Pains and problems show up days after the accident.
    #2- There is no doubt that you can collect insurance $ which you rightly deserve. DO NOT DELAY.

    To “A politician”,

    I’ll tell you what’s up with the accidents… It’s called “PEOPLE NOT CARING ABOUT OTHERS”…

    Drive carefully and care about other
    people and these “accidents” won’t happen
    as often…

    Don’t blame the driving on the city, it’s your fault…

  • SAFE DRIVER

    THE TRAFFIC LIGHT ON THE CORNER OF KINGSTON AND EMPIRE NEEDS A TURNING SIGNAL. ACTUALLY THIS SHOULD APPLY TO MOST OF THE EMPIRE BOULLEVARD INTERSECTIONS.

  • get real

    She doesn’t “rightly deserve” any insurance money unless shes suffering or for the minor damages to her car… stop promoting insurance fraud, you wonder why the rates are so high in NYC, cause the morals are so low

    and do u really want the attention of the traffic department? The solution to accidents to them is more tickets for speeding and red lights

  • concerned!

    Thank you to our wonderful FDNY Firemen and our volunteer EMT’s for their fast response!You are appreciated by the people of the community!

    Later in the event, it was nice that the little police wagon showed up and dragged the suv out of the street. I remember back when tow trucks used to come to a car accident and take the car away to be repaired, now the police take care of it! It shows that with time some things change!
