Bronx Multi-Vehicle Crash Causes Death of Elderly Couple

The Bronx, NY – An elderly couple succumbs to injuries caused by a multi-vehicle crash at the intersection of Allerton Avenue and East Gun Hill Road. The traumatic incident took place when the 81-year-old driver of a 1999 Lincoln Town Car, with his 74-year-old wife, failed to properly navigate the roadway and collided with a 2012 Chevrolet Suburban operated by a 51-year-old driver. A third vehicle, with a 32-year-old woman behind the wheel, tried to swerve behind the Suburban but was also hit. First responders discovered the elderly couple, both with head and body trauma, unconscious and unresponsive. The Chevrolet operator sustained injuries to his left wrist and ribs, while the female driver of the third vehicle was uninjured. All patients were rushed to NYC Health and Hospitals/Jacobi, where the female senior passenger was pronounced dead and the elderly driver deceased more than a week later.
