Ridiculous tragedy: 17-year-old boy was hit by a car in New York, falling from the roof of a parked trailer

A 17-year-old youth died in an accident in the Bronx in the early hours of September 5th. He was standing on the roof of a parked trailer, and then lost his balance and got under the wheels of a passing truck, reports New York Post.

Daniel Hernandez of Manhattan fell off the roof of a cargo trailer into the driveway and landed on the back wheels of a moving tractor trailer.

It is unclear what the teenager was doing on the roof of the trailer and what caused him to fall.

According to the NYPD, his body was "squeezed between spinning rear wheels" before being run over.

The tractor operator, a 42-year-old man, remained at the scene. No charges have been filed in connection with the incident, according to police.

On the subject: In New York, drivers who kill pedestrians and cyclists are almost never arrested: sometimes they don’t even try to punish them.

Meanwhile, the NYPD said a 65-year-old pedestrian died in Brooklyn on September 4 in the evening. The hit-and-run driver hit him in Canarsie.
