No the 16 year old asshole with a learners permit who was speeding is responsible for this
She was ejected, so she wasn't wearing a seat belt.......fuck mayne
When I saw it reported, they showed the truck being hit, driver was just stepping into it and got knocked on his ass....you didn't really get a clean solid look because of the angle, but that whole truck got knocked foward at least 15-20'
.
Yea I understand all of that, I 100% agree with y’all
I just was looking at the location of the UPS truck. The first thing I thought before the crash was, “damn he stopped in the road”
So I went back to see if he was parked in a designated parking spot or on the shoulder
my super knigga senses telling me
somebody was most likely texting...
and saw the ups truck at the last minute
and tried to swerve around it...
Driving in nyc is no fucking joke.. I will never own a car
in the city, unless I had to travel across state to work....
and what the fuck is that ups truck made out of
gatdam Kryptonite....???

Even if it was stopped on the roadway and not in a designated spot.....Yea I understand all of that, I 100% agree with y’all

If they had the hazard lights on and it was unoccupied....(it becomes the drivers duty to avoid the obstacle, cars break down, deliveries need to be made...etc) however that's a 5/6 lane road, why go that fast in the lane people usually stop/turn in?
Naw. I think he was trying to outrun the tracker trailer and couldn't make it. Trailer caused that shit.
One thing I've noticed with any parcel delivery truck is if there's no actual parking spot for a delivery, cops don't fuck with them as long as they got their hazards onYea I understand all of that, I 100% agree with y’all

I agree 1000% the driver no matter what age was wreckless
After looking at the location, very unfortunate situation.
When everything is in the right place at the wrong damn moment…
The red car, tractor trailer and ups….
I’ll be surprised if the driver parents don’t get charged…. Being 16 the kid is allowed to drive to school or work…

car came hauling ass round that turn looks like he was trying to drift that bitch...scrap metal now...
That BMW was doing like 90 to 100MPH. It was reckless driving plain and simple.here’s the pics
a merging left hand lane…
No location to park on the Ave…
I’m curious if the red car, came off the exit…then attempted the same maneuver as the mustang but only to noticed the ups truck at the last minute….
He was already speeding on the entrance ramp. He came around that semi blindly and was met at 100MPH by that UPS truck.
Yep…
Or somebodys impatience....I never understood why people, speed up like that in the city, its like
its the city muthafucka you just speeding up to stop at the next fuckin light..
I was biking yesterday, and this van honks loud as fuck, and speeds by... only to stop three seconds
later and wait for the light... I caught up and was like where the fuck you going, you speeding just to stop at a light,
he just gave me this stupid fuckin DUH IM AN IDIOT look...as I biked past his ass...
Damn I think you got it......
Girl, 14, wanted to be a doctor — but her bright future ended in Queens crash of BMW with boy, 16, at wheel; ‘Life will never be the same’ says distraught mom
Thu, May 18, 2023, 9:27 AM EDT
The bright future of a 14-year-old aspiring doctor was tragically cut short when she was thrown from the the passenger seat of a speeding sedan whose teenage driver lost control and hit a parked delivery van in Queens, police said Thursday.
When she learned that her daughter Fortune Williams was killed in the crash, “I felt like I died at the same time,” said the girl’s distraught mom, Keisha Francis.
“I feel like I lost my breath at the same time as a mother,” Francis said. “My life will never be the same without my daughter. My life will never be the same. It’s rough.”
Shocking video showed from start to finish the crash at 6:40 p.m. Wednesday in which the 16-year-old driver of a red BMW lost control as he zoomed around a tractor-trailer and smashed into a parked UPS van on North Conduit Ave. near 160th St. in Springfield Gardens, just off the Belt Parkway.
A UPS worker was stepping into his truck when the sedan slammed into its back. The impact threw the worker to the ground.
The impact spun the BMW into the side of the tractor-trailer it had just passed, the video shows.
Fortune was thrown from the luxury car’s passenger seat into the roadway and suffered severe head trauma, cops said. She died at the scene.
“The car was unrecognizable,” a police source told the Daily News. “It was torn to pieces. The female’s body was in the street by the car.”
The 16-year-old teen driver, who has not been identified, somehow emerged with just minor injuries. Medics took him to Cohen Childrens Medical Center.
The UPS driver was taken to Jamaica Hospital with minor injuries. The 49-year-old man driving the tractor-trailer wasn’t hurt.
The boy only had a valid learner permit. He was not immediately charged.
Regardless of age, anyone with just a learner permit can only drive while accompanied by a supervising driver age 21 or older who has a valid license, according to New York Department of Motor Vehicle rules.
Per mile driven, drivers aged from 16 to 19 have a fatal crash rate almost three times as high as drivers ages 20 and older, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety says. The crash rate is even higher when other children are in a car — as in the deadly crash in March that killed five members of a former Brooklyn family in Westchester County.
Fortune lived in Brookville, according to cops, and was about two miles from home when her boyfriend crashed.
Francis, 36, said she didn’t even know her daughter was away from their house.
“She was at home with her sister, who is almost 19 years old,” Francis said. “She told her sister that she’s going outside to sit down and talk to her friend, never knowing that she was going to leave with him.”
Francis was at work at the time of the crash, and heard from relatives who told her to call the police.
Francis described her initial conversation with police: “They told me that my daughter has been in a terrible accident, and I asked if she’s okay. They would not tell me, so they took me to the precinct from work.”
At a police precinct 20 minutes later, an officer gave Francis a brown envelope.
According to Francis’ retelling, an officer told her: “I’m going to show you a piece of jewelry. And if it’s the same person — she didn’t make it.’
“They showed me her necklace and a bracelet ....”
“My child is just 14 years old and she was looking forward to her birthday and this is what happens to my child. Her birthday was next month, on the fourth.”
Francis was touched by the card her daughter gave her for Mother’s Day.
“My baby said to me, ‘Dear mom, I know I’m not the best daughter but I want to give you at least the best Mother’s Day,’” she said, reading from the card.
“‘You go through too much to be treated the way you do. You are strong mentally and physically. You are beautiful, you are hilarious and overall breathtaking. I love you more than cooked food. Happy Mother’s day from Fortune. Love you.’”
“It was a beautiful card.”
Francis said Fortune, who was a ninth grader at George Washington Carver High School, had her heart set on being a nurse, and later, a doctor.
“She did nursing in high school. She always wanted to become a doctor,” Francis said.
“I said, ‘You can still be a doctor when you finish high school. You’re going to graduate with a nursing certificate and you can just work as a nurse and you can go to school to be a doctor.’
“At least she’d be stable, working as a nurse as she goes to school to become a doctor.”
Francis said Fortune was inspired by her godmother, who is a doctor. She said Fortune was willing to do the work.
“She was very obedient,” Francis said. “She was very caring. She was very loving and smart. She liked to dress and look pretty. She was so much into her education.”
The distraught mother had little to say about the driver.
“I don’t know of him. I don’t know nothing about him,” she said. “What I want to know is why was he speeding with my child? And, he’s 16. Why does he have a car, driving?”
This is EXACTLY what happened.. I live 5 minutes from where the accident occurred and people stay speeding on the conduit it’s mostly a straight shot perfect for niggas who know how to speed but don’t know shit about driving.. A lot of accidents happen in the area due to reckless driving but none so horrific. I pass by the spot when I go to work every day. I saw her family as I was passing by yesterday and the pain I saw and felt just passing by the scene fucked with my spirit big time
Man I knew we had a member or two that knew the area….
I won’t be surprised if In the future the city does something to help with the accidents..
I saw the video of the crash and the aftermath on whatsapp. Shit was brutal. The driver seemed perfectly fine. The little girl was laid out face down in the middle the street. No one even bothered trying to roll her over. They knew she was gone.
I think I read she suffered an head injury, which lead me to believe it was busted open..
Impatience is not an excuse. That was bad driving.
You say exactlywhat happened right in the beginning of your statement..... and then try to blame the tractor trailer..... you must be either high as fuck or a truck driver.... most likely both...
