Driver Chokes on Drink, Causes Truck Accident

|

A vehicle accident occurred around 7:30 in the morning on Friday in Beach Avenue, Staten Island. Control of a Mack truck being driven by an employee of Flag Container Service was lost when the driver choked on their drink. As a result, the truck collided into two fences, a Hyundai, and a Beemer that belongs to a dentist. The Beemer was parked on the dentist’s driveway of his home practice when the truck hit it and caused for it to go through the front of the dentist’s office. Luckily, no one was at the office at the time of the accident. However, the driver of the Hyundai was taken to the hospital to be treated for head pain. No charges have been pressed against the operator of the truck.
