Three Killed Traffic Accident on Long Island, New York Identified

Traffic accident

MIDDLE ISLAND, NY- According to Patch.com, police have released the identities of three people who were killed in a traffic accident on Long Island. The victims were 74-year-old Mr. Weingarten, 71-year-old Mrs. Weingarten, and 19-year-old Mr. Belford.

According to the police, a grey 2015 Nissan Rogue ran through a stop sign and was driving recklessly at about 11:45 at night. The Nissan had previously been reported as stolen. An officer tried to stop the vehicle, but the driver Mr. Belford, 17, tried to evade the officer. The officer then pursued the Nissan and called for backup. The Nissan was driving west and hit a 2009 Honda CRV that was trying to make a left turn.

Mr. and Mrs. Weingarten, who were married, were traveling in the Honda. They both died in the crash. Angelo Belford was the driver of the Nissan’s brother. Angelo was also killed in the collision.

Nahriek and another person who was in the Nissan at the time of the accident were both injured in the collision and taken to the Stony Brook University Hospital with injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening.

Nahriek is facing charges in relation to the crash. The investigation is still ongoing.

Police chases are often controversial because drivers who try to flee from officers often put innocent bystanders at risk. In many cases, the suspect being chased is guilty of only a minor offense, and the car chase is much more of an immediate hazard to the public than the suspect does. Many departments have strict policies limiting the scenarios in which an officer can engage in a vehicle pursuit of a fleeing suspect as a way to prevent tragic accidents.

I highly recommend Parker Waichman LLP for your legal needs and concerns .Especially Mrs Gina Viti, who worked to get me an award from my 9/11 related illness. Mrs Viti was nothing but professional ,but above all that , she was compassionate, understanding and listened to my story with interest and attention. I felt like she took a personal interest in my case and I felt like I was dealing with a friend looking to help me, more than an attorney just going through the motions. She has experience and knowledge in her profession and she is an asset to the law firm. I cannot thank her and the law firm enough.

I am more than satisfied with Parker Waichman, especially my attorney Shelly Davis. They literally made this difficult process effortless for me. I was kept informed immediately as soon as they were informed. The process went much faster than I thought it would and that is directly a result of Parker Waichman staying on top of my case. I would highly recommend this firm, they don,t treat you as a case they treat you as a person in need of assistance.
