ONE INJURED AFTER CAR AND TRUCK COLLIDE ON WEST END AVENUE

Manhattan crash-20140403-01216

A collision between a car and truck wreaked some havoc this afternoon shortly after 2 p.m. at 96th street and West End Avenue. We don’t have many details (NYPD rarely gives out info on non-fatal crashes), but FDNY says that one person was transported to St. Luke’s Hospital after the crash.

Robert Josman, who sent in the photo above, says the vehicles may have sideswiped each other.

“Both car and truck going north bound on WEA. Looks like truck and car sideswiped each other. One person taken away in ambulance, I believe it was car driver. He looked ok, hopefully it was just as a precaution.”

“No commercial traffic” sign ignored again. I hope a citation was issued to the offending truck.

That’s right, truck can only be on WEA if he has a bill of lading showing a delivery within three blocks.

Good watch-dogging. Let’s hope driver is ticketed if necessary and company stays away from WEA.

HA!!!

Wishful thinking. As anyone whose windows overlook West End could tell you, it has become a truck route, with even tractor-trailers (“big-rigs” if you’re from the Left Coast) barreling along.

It seems that WEA is a speedway alternate to the more congested avenues to the east.

C’est la vie!

we could fund universal pre-K in NYC if they ticketed every truck or bus on WEA for a week.

The last time we asked the police to enforce the no-truck rule on West End, they used it is as an excuse to go after every parked car that had its registration sticker askew. We need consistent enforcement from the 20th and 24th precincts. No trucks from 70th to 107th on WEA! Since truck drivers apparently can’t read the signs, can we send them to remedial pre-K?

It is a shame there is commercial traffic when it is not supposed to be there – better enforcement might help prevent these types of accidents.
