Dump Truck Overturns, Kills 2 in Brooklyn

Yesterday , a dump truck and Toyota Camry going west on Atlantic Avenue had a deadly accident. The truck, which was filled with debris, jackknifed and overturned, crushing the Camry and its two passengers.

Police suspect the Camry may have attempted to cut off the truck. The accident occurred at Atlantic Avenue approach Washington Avenue, and a resident complained to the Post, “This intersection is insane. It’s like they get the satan inside of them as they approach that intersection.

The agency of Sanitation brought by three bulldozers to help upright the truck. One resident told Newsday, “First, you heard a huge screech, thereupon a ‘boom, boom, boom’ and another boom.

It sounded as whether it would never end. I didn’t even see the car underneath the dump truck. That’s how not good it was.”

The truck driver was treated for fainting. He was not charged with any crime, but the police are still investigating.
