BIG FLATS, NEW YORK (April 26, 2023) – A man and a woman were killed in a multi-vehicle car accident involving a semi-truck along Interstate 86, according to the NYSP.

Big Flats police officials are saying that the incident took place 6:44 p.m. on Sunday. Several vehicles were involved in a collision with a disabled tractor trailer.

Liability For Big Flats Car Accidents

There are many factors that could contribute to car accidents. According to the FMCSA, “Fatigue, drinking alcohol, and speeding are major factors in motor vehicle crashes overall. Although their presence does not always result in a crash, these three factors, as well as other driver, vehicle, and environmental factors, can increase the risk that a crash will occur.” There are many steps that should be taken after any car accident.

  • Photos of the accident site should be taken.
  • Eye witnesses should be interviewed.
  • A thorough investigation should be conducted.

When a driver is negligent and causes a fatal collision, they or their family may be able to seek some measure of justice through a wrongful death claim. Damages in a civil claim can help cover many of the expenses that come with the sudden loss of a loved one. It is crucial that evidence is properly preserved after any collision.
