Vehicle overturns continue to occur in Lynbrook

Since April, according to Lynbrook Fire Chief Scott Bien, there have been seven auto accidents in Lynbrook with vehicles that overturned and people trapped inside.

This is the most vehicle accidents and overturns within a three-month period, according to the fire department. Two of the overturns took place on May 2. Five of the seven overturns required Lynbrook firefighters, in the department’s Extrication Team, to cut the vehicles so they can retrieve the drivers and passengers.

According to Bien, one overturn was from a driver suffering a medical issue, while another fell asleep. The other five were caused by a lack of driving attention. Nobody in these accidents were seriously hurt.
