Goldman, according to the police, was making a left turn from the eastbound Rhea Street to the northbound Atlantic Avenue in a ’99 Toyota Camry. For unknown reasons, a 2008 Lexus ES350 that was heading south on the same roadway stuck the deceased’s car.
The man died from the injuries sustained in the tragic collision, while the 42-year-old man driving the Lexus went away unscathed. The LBPD said that they do not suspect drugs, alcohol, or a combination of both as contributing factors in the accident.
They have not ruled out distracted driving, and the investigation remains active. Anyone with helpful information should contact the LBPD on the listed line.
Accidents of this nature lead to investigations to determine whether the victim was negligent in any way. If investigators find that the victim does not share in the negligence, then the offending driver would face criminal prosecution if there is a death or grievous bodily harm.
Those involved in two-vehicle collisions should hire a car injury lawyer for legal advice and representation.
