Man killed, 3 injured in Bronx car crash
Cops said it wasn’t immediately clear if alcohol played a factor but the investigation is ongoing. Nobody has been charged with a crime in the accident.
A 43-year-old man died after his vehicle was involved in a side collision which sent his car into a Bronx utility pole. The victim, Alvin Fuster, was heading westbound on East 222nd Street and Eastchester Road around 2 a.m. when his BMW was hit by another vehicle. Fuster exited the roadway and crashed into the pole. He was transported to Jacobi Medical Center where he died. Three women were in the other vehicle and they all suffered minor injuries.
Why every fatality from a crash is not legally a wrongful death
After someone dies in a motor-vehicle accident, grieving family members and friends are often left with many questions. What caused the accident? Could it have been avoided? What do they do now that their loved one is gone?
Sometimes a fatal collision happens through no one's fault. Crashes caused by weather and road conditions, or by wildlife in the roadway, are examples. But when a fatal crash is caused by negligence, then family members should pursue a wrongful death claim, to uphold the victim's rights and begin the financial recovery process.
