Queens Man In Wheelchair Killed By Truck

Did anybody every watch that show called New York Nick on Bravo about two years ago? I got such a kick out of the Aunt Irene (Diz) and the sister Vivian. I just saw the sister Vivian on the news. Her father was hit by a truck while sitting in his wheelchair on the sidewalk by his house in Ozone Park.

(1010 WINS) (NEW YORK) A 67-year-old man was killed when an out-of-control truck veered to avoid hitting a young boy and went onto the sidewalk where the man was sitting in a wheelchair in Queens.

New York City Police say the 7-year-old boy was standing on the median of Cross Bay Boulevard just after one Thursday afternoon when he stepped out into the street.

The truck swerved to avoid hitting him and lost control, veering onto the sidewalk where 67-year-old Aniello Scotti was sitting in a wheelchair.

Scotti was killed. The boy fell back onto the median is in stable condition with a shoulder injury.
