Fatal Garbage Truck Accident on Lexington
A couple of readers in the past few minutes have tipped us off to a terrible accident that happened about an hour ago on Lexington Avenue between Classon and Franklin in Bed Stuy. According to one version, the driver of a garbage truck forgot to take the truck out of gear and got out to pick up some trash. The truck rolled forward crushing the driver to death and hitting parked cars and causing the pile-up shown in the first photo. This occurred about 45 minnutes ago. Anyone else see it? More details?
