Suspected Drunk Driver Causes 3 Car Accident
CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] – Police arrested the driver that caused an accident involving three cars on suspicion of DUI. The incident occurred on Empire Boulevard between Schenectady and Troy Avenues, where one minivan rear ended an SUV which hit another SUV.
An eye witness told CrownHeights.info that he saw the minivan, driven by a Hispanic man, turn from Schenectady on to Empire at very high speed and ‘very recklessly’, and continued to speed down Empire until he collided with the jeep.
The driver attempted to deny driving the car at first but gave up and admitted that he in fact was the driver and was later arrested on suspicion of Driving Under the Influence.
Hatzalah was for some reason called and responded, treating 3 of the victims, one of which was trapped in the jeep, forcing firefighters to use the Jaws of Life to pry open the collapsed door.
There were a total six injuries, none of which were serious.
sad
In one of the pics it looks liek they strapped the guy to the gurney and left him by himself in the middle of the street! (http://www.crownheights.inf…)

yup that picture looks funny – my source tells me they had 6 patients, not enough ambulances fast emough, hatzolos was first on scene…the firemen boarded that patient….it does look so comical.
It-s your life
As long as the laws and judges are lenient and there are small consequences for DWI this will go on forever.
Now with money tight and jail space costly DWIers will be let go faster with no punishment.
Walk and drive very carefully if you value your lives.
lookin- good, ben! nice mani
“hatzalah was for some reason called”? because they arrive first, duh!!
buffwannabe
a good samaritan or maybe PD called direct…? whatever it is I don’t think hatzala has a problem with it as you can see clearly and has been this way for so long. many times i hear PD calls hatzalo just to get some kind of quick and profesional responders quickly.
It seems also they get along well.
Concerned!
Thank you to our volunteers of Hatzalah and our Firemen of FDNY!
Money counts
Idont beleived ALL those 6 patients were realy hurt
they may just want money
Even the driver whos car was totald from the FRONT was in perfect condition
the guys who got a dent in the back of their SUV how were they hurt? Just from a bang from the BACK
Just because their doors got dented and did’nt open
Money counts
I think they also waisted Hatzalas and FDNYs time and money just to play injured so that they could make some money
Look at the pictures of their SUV – How in the world could you get injured from a Push in the Back??!!
