OU 的師弟師妹:
我校2004級MCB的一位校友周5凌晨在賓州90高速被卡車追尾,他太太當場遇難,他本人和2個小孩 (2歲和4歲)受傷。2名肇事司機逃逸。
由於他們是從美國搬家到加拿大上學,所有積蓄都是現金,不幸的是,出事後大部分現金(1萬多)被盜,只剩下3000塊現金。他和孩子目前住在Erie,
PA 的旅館, 等待屍檢報吿,和火化遺體, 然後帶2個小孩回國。目前他的情况很糟糕,車徹底報廢,他本人也受傷。希望OU的校友在力所能及的情况下幫他度過難關。
如果有願意捐款的同學,可以商量捐款方式,請CSSA幫下忙了。我打算周末從Columbus開過去看他,我自己也會帶些錢過去,希望大家也能幫一下。

Comments Erie Pennsylvania Truck Accident Lawyers : More on Fatal
I-90 Hit and Run August 21, 2010, ERIE, PA - Yesterday I posted
information in our Pennsylvania truck accident blog about a terrible
hit and run Erie County truck accident on I-90 near North East, PA
yesterday. New information since then has emerged about the family
who was victimized in this accident and the revelation that there
were actually two trucks involved in this accident and both drivers
fled the scene.
Xiaoxia Zhang, 30, of Chicago was traveling east on I-90 with her
family in their Volkswagan Passat station wagon. Her husband was
driving and she and their two children were in the back seat.
A large blue truck or tractor trailer reportedly attempted to pass
them on the left near mile mark 40 on I-90 in North East,
Pennsylvania. The truck struck the Passat in the rear, spinning it
out of control and causing Ms. Zhang to be ejected.
Another large truck reportedly struck Ms. Zhang as she lay on the
highway. Reportedly, she was killed instantly.Both drivers fled the
scene.
Ms. Zhang's husband and two children reportedly suffered minor
injuries.
My hope is that someone was there at the scene promptly to help
these people. As horrible as this Erie truck accident was I imagine
it would have been that much worse had they been left alone in the
dark by the side of the highway far from home. I hope that someone
was there to help, to comfort them, until first responders arrived.
Yesterday I wrote of the cowardice of the first truck driver in this
fatal hit and run accident. Frankly, it did not surprise me that a
driver would flee the scene of such a terrible accident. Most people
(and certainly most truck drivers) are good, honest people who will
do the right thing and who have the courage not to run from a
terrible situation like this one. But in almost 20 years of being a
lawyer who represents people involved in the most terrible truck
accidents I have certainly come to know plenty of drivers who acted
like cowards. So, the fact that one driver left the scene
disappointed me but did not surprise me.
But two cowards in the same place at the same time? As jaded as I am
about human nature, that nevertheless surprises and saddens me.
I spoke with my wife about this morning. We struggled to find some
way to explain the behavior of these two drivers. We came up with
nothing for the first driver. As for the second, the best we could
speculate was that the second truck driver was so inattentive that
he wasn't watching what was going on in front of him and completely
failed to see the accident in front of him or the person on the
road. The best we can say about the second driver is that he was
grossly inattentive. But frankly, I'm not buying it. If I had to
guess (and because both of the truck drivers fled that's all we can
do about their intent) I'm guessing he saw what he did and he drove
away in fear.
Our thoughts are with the Zhang family. We hope that they are
getting support and care here in Erie and that their friends and
family are with them or will be soon. |
