BROOKLYN, NY- According to abc7ny.com, an accident that led to a car driving into a café in Brooklyn was caused by an off-duty NYPD cadet. The officer, Mr. Acevedo, 23, reportedly fled the scene of the accident after hitting a Dodge Challenger and creating a multiple-car collision that pushed the Challenger onto the curb and into the Civil Service Café.
The crash created a loud noise causing many nearby to run to see what had happened. Witnesses saw a woman under the car and stated that she was screaming. One driver who was behind the Challenger saw the vehicle strike it and driver away. Other witnesses had believed the Challenger was the only vehicle involved, but the investigation has shown that to be incorrect.
The woman who was stuckunder the car was severely injuredwith a broken leg and a collapsed lung. Another individual, a 40-year-old man, was injured by the vehicle as well. The driver who hit the café suffered injuries, and another individual sustained minor injuries from the collision.
The integrity of the building came into questionbecause of the crash, and investigators had to work to determine whether the structure was intact.
Acevado came back to the scene of the crash after several hours and was arrestedon charges of failing to signal and leaving the scene of an accident.
New York City has made traffic safety a priority. The Vision Zero initiative led to the fewest pedestrian deaths in the city since 1910, which is when the city started tracking pedestrian fatalities. Despite the improvements, hit-and-run accidents are on the rise, and many drivers get away with leaving the scene. The vast majority of hit-and-runs only involve property damage, but overall, only 1% of these accidents leadto an arrest. Our Brooklyn Personal Injury Lawyers are reviewing injury claims to help victims recover maximum compensation.
