The three New Yorkers killed in an accident on September 25 have been identified. Twenty-two-year-old Garibaldi Reyes-Jerez from Manhattan, and Bronx residents John Pena-Martinez, 24, and Maria Vasquez-Guzman, 16, died when their car hit the Cross County Parkway. 

The crash happened sometime before 2:30 a.m. on Friday, September 25 in Mount Vernon. The driver, twenty-one-year-old Yordany Bautista-Hernandez from the Bronx, hit a guardrail and overturned while driving east on the Cross County Parkway between the Exit 9 ramp for the Hutchinson River Parkway and Exit 10 for New Rochelle Road, the police informed.

When the officers arrived, they found Vasquez-Guzman inside the wrecked car, while Reyes-Jerez and Pena-Martinez were ejected from the Toyota.

Bautista-Hernandez was taken to Westchester Medical Center for evaluation and treatment of his injuries.

The cause of the collision remains under investigation. So far no charges have been filed.

If you have any information regarding the accident the police are asking you to contact Det. Brandon Amlung by calling (914) 864-7728 or by emailing [email protected]

Nobody expects to end up in an accident when they leave their home. However, accidents happen and sometimes all it takes is a little distraction or road hazard for the driver to lose control. No matter how careful of a driver you are, you can’t control other traffic participants.

Speeding, alcohol, drugs, fatigue, as well as phones, are some of the main reasons for accidents.

If you were injured in an auto accident or have lost a loved one in such circumstances, make sure you contact a car accident lawyer who will evaluate your case. They will guide you into the process and advise you on the next steps. 

Make sure you hire an attorney because trying to get a compensation claim in such cases might be complex. Insurance companies will have a team of attorneys and so should you. Contact Cellino Law today.

Testimonials

  • I highly recommend Cellino Law to anyone involved in a car crash. I worked with Michael Lovecchio, and had a wonderful experience given the circumstances. He was very attentive, and got the best possible outcome I could have wanted.

    Susan

  • Thank you for your efforts on my behalf. I am very pleased (and surprised) at the amount of the settlement. We will use the funds to help pay down the debt on the truck we had to purchase after ours was totaled. Thank you again.

    Linda

  • Joe and I just wanted to send you this note thanking you for the professional way you handled our lawsuit. Your kindness was extremely appreciated in a very difficult time. When we found out the people that caused the accident had no insurance, we thought our chances of receiving any settlement was nonexistent. Once we met with you and released you were able to help us our minds were put at ease. Your aggressive manner of handling the case exceeded our expectations. Please feel free to use us as a reference. Thank you so much and best wishes,

    Danielle and Joe

  • Thank you for your time, effort, and hard work on my case. I appreciate your expertise and compassion. I never experienced what I went through and I would have been completely lost without you.

    Martha

  • I just want to let you know that I did receive my settlement check. More importantly, I want to thank you again for all you did for both me and my family. I could not be more pleased with my experience at Cellino Law. From the moment I first spoke with you I felt comfortable - you took a sincere interest in my case, clearly explained the process and effected a quick settlement. From this day forward, when someone asks if I can recommend a good lawyer I will, without hesitation, say "Cellino Law". Thanks again.
