HEMPSTEAD, NEW YORK (April 30, 2024) – Two people have died and another four were injured in a Hempstead collision along Fulton Avenue.

Speeding is one of the major causes of car accidents in the United States. According to the NHTSA, “In 2020 there were an estimated 308,013 people injured (13% of total people injured) in speeding-related crashes. The number of speeding-related fatalities in 2020 increased by 17 percent from 2019, from 9,592 to 11,258.” Victims of car accidents tend to suffer very serious injuries, including:
If a driver flees the scene of a collision, they could face criminal as well as civil penalties. Drivers may flee the scene of a collision because they are afraid of getting arrested. It is important that evidence is properly preserved after any crash. Evidence will ultimately be used to determine liability. Any person injured in a collision may be able to seek some measure of justice through a civil claim.
