Colleen... Do you know the truck was speeding??? Trucks cant stop on a dime like standard cars. Why do you think it was important to make the u turn??? Senseless lack of judgement.

Efforts to reach McDonough's family were unsuccessful. A message left Saturday at a number for Filiberto was not returned.
Ah! Poppycock ! Newsday prints that 20 times a day. I'll bet dollars to donuts they didn't even try !
this is the dumbest thing for newsday to print.
the family just lost a loved one and they do not want to talk to the press. why in the hell would they?
there is nothing that anyone in the press can ask the family that would be worth the time and effort.
i know that if some moron reporter knocked on my door after a family member was killed, that reporter would be next in line FOR A HOSPITAL BED.
LEAVE THE GRIEVING FAMILIES ALONE!!!

By Far the most Dangerous thing most Americans do, is to drive a car. Now that speed limits have become meaningless, unless you're driving down Hill Street entering snooty Southampton Village, where they posted a ridiculously new and lower, 25 MPH speed limit on this main highway some years back, the cops have been freed up to write up these twisted metal scenes. In the 'Joe-Sixpack' community of Riverhead an old farm road named, "Middle Road" that has become the By-pass Route for CR 58, better known as 'Big Box Alley', had its long posted 30 MPH limit raised to 40 MPH, and has killed quite a few already at various intersections. Funny how speed limit signs are altered for the worst of reasons here on Long Island. 25 is so SoutHUMPTON, can seem more 'exclusive', and the old farm road with its limited sight distance over blind curves, and hills and far more high speed traffic, gets raised so as to not inconvenience who ? The Undertakers ? Drive at your own risk, and consider that risk a whole lot worse than you now imagine it to be.
