Brooklyn, New York (NewYorkInjuryNews.com) — An ambulance hit a boy of 13 years in a street accident in Brooklyn while running across the lane in order to meet one of his friends on Tuesday. According to the police and eye witnesses, the driver of the ambulance had a license that was suspended. Rich Lamont, the teen who was resided in East Flatbush, affected by the accident and the driver, Carl Neblett, 33, saw one another but till the time the driver could apply the brakes.
As reported by the witnesses, the driver could not take any prompt action due to the trucks that were double-parked on the E.91 St. and Clarkson Ave. to meet his friend at the coin laundry, Rich dashed across the Clarkson Ave. and the ambulance brutally slammed him at the same moment at around 5p.m.
Gary Stone, aged 22 years old, who was one of the eye witnesses, called the 911 helpline and reported that the young boy was running across the street when the ambulance hit him and crushed his head under its wheels. The sound that was produced was just like that of a gunshot.
Neblett, the driver of the ambulance lives nearby the street where the accident occurred. Later he was levied the case of having suspended license. It is still unclear that the company, Professional Transportation Corp. of Glen Cove, in which Neblett worked was allowed to drive the vehicle if he had suspended license and was already not allowed to drive by the law. No one at the office of the company answered any phone calls on the night the accident took place.
Another possible reason for the accident can be the unavailability of any stop sign or traffic light at the street’s intersection. If such negligence will continue, there are possibilities that the city will face more accidents each day.
