After the incident, which occurred at the beginning of this week, some residents of the Brooklyn area of Williamsburg, may decide to Park their cars along the curb on Nostrand Avenue.
After all, there are about six Monday morning the garbage truck, owned by Crown Container, raced at high speed past the parked cars, crashing in 12 of them.
Fortunately, the car was empty so no one, including the driver of the truck, was not injured. But this does not apply to affected vehicles: some of them lost their glasses, some doors, some coverings over the wheels.
Many had punctured tires. Many of those machines that is so unlucky that the repairs they already are not subject.
The staff of the new York police, who are investigating the incident, found that the driver of the truck fell asleep, so I lost control.
Representatives of the company on garbage removal have already contacted some of the owners of the damaged cars. For example, Miguel Ríos, the van is now without a door, offered compensation in the amount of $5,300.
It is still unknown how Crown Container plans to repair the damage Emanuel Acosta, a new Nissan Maxima which will never be cut through the new York streets. The situation is complicated by the fact that Acosta works as a driver for Uber and now lost the opportunity of earnings.
Kendall Christiansen, Executive Director of New Yorkers for Responsible Waste Management, organizations representing more than a dozen private companies for garbage collection, said on behalf of the leadership Crown Container the following:
“We are very sorry about the damage that was done to our truck, and grateful that no one was hurt. We are trying to contact owners of vehicles to pay for the damage caused. We conduct a thorough investigation into the incident. The driver of the truck was removed for the time until the end of the investigation. We have taken steps to prevent the recurrence of such incidents.”
