Staten Island also has tons of hills leading to lots of blind curves. Pair that with a rain slicked road and someone travelling too fast in a veicle with posi-rear and you have this mess. He probably never even saw the stop sign. On another note, it still amazes me that in this age of readily available information that someone would be so careless as to not wear their seatbelt. He probably had it clipped so that the car chime to nag him into putting it on wouldn't bother him.</p> http://gothamist.com/2008/11/25/fatal_staten_island_car_accident.php#comment-1525267 http://gothamist.com/2008/11/25/fatal_staten_island_car_accident.php#comment-1525267 Comments Tue, 25 Nov 2008 09:11:28 -0500 <p>Staten Island is the most car-centric of the boroughs. There's considerably less mass-transit available, and things like this become inevitable. While I am not a fan of SUVs, it's nice to see that in this instance the SUV wasn't the culprit. It may have actually saved the occupants this time.</p>
