Fatal car accident claims the life of a 3-year-old

Police in New York are investigating a crash that claimed the life of a 3-year-old girl. This fatal car accident occurred in Uniondale on Sunday, July 9. The injured victims and the loved one’s of the deceased may be entitled to pursue a claim for damages for their losses.

According to a local news station, the driver of an SUV collided with another SUV while attempting to change lanes. The impact sent the second vehicle off the road and into a tree.

The driver of the impacted car — a 66-year-old male — is said to have suffered neck and back injuries and another passenger in his automobile — a 28-year-old female — experienced fractures in her legs.

The driver responsible for the crash was uninjured in the wreck. The events that led up to the collision are still being reviewed. At this time, it is unknown if any charges are pending against this individual.

The injured victims may also seek relief by filing personal injury claims against the driver thought responsible for this fatal car accident.
