Woman Severely Injured in a T-Bone Crash in Brooklyn

A thirty-two-year-old woman is fighting for her life after the Lyft she was traveling in was hit by a driver in a souped-up sports car who ran through a red light. The T-bone crash in Brooklyn happened early Monday, November 30.

The passenger was traveling north in the back seat of a hired Honda Accord on Bedford Ave. The car was hit by a Dodge Charger that was speeding west on Dekalb Avenue. 

The impact ejected the woman from the vehicle. According to the officials, she was immediately transported to Bellevue Hospital in a critical state.

The surveillance footage shows the Honda slowly entering the intersection when it was crashed from the side by the speeding Charger. The video clearly shows the Charger speeding through a red light, and hitting the backside of the car where the victim was sitting.  

The Accord started spinning around from the impact, smashing into a parked white van and climbing the sidewalk.

The driver of the Charger was identified by police sources as twenty-two-year-old Ryan Ortiz from Middletown, New York. He was taken to Kings County Hospital in good condition.

The Charger was decorated with a wrap-around design from the horror movie “Scream”; the vanity plate read “SCR3AM.”

Being injured as a passenger is never easy. But, since you weren’t at any kind of fault, you can easily file a claim by both your driver and the other driver involved in the accident.

This can be a complex case, so it’s best to hire a New York car accident attorney. Covering your medical expenses can be stressful, especially in the period when you have to stay at home and lose your wages.

  • Cellino Law and more specifically my attorney, Gregory V. Pajak, Managing Attorney, and as a whole the Cellino Law Firm and its organization. This is by far one of the most professional law firms and attorney I have ever engaged with and retained in my 35 years. The level of professionalism goes beyond words, the care and constant engagement with me as the client was touching. I was never ever just treated as simply a CASE with potentially a significant dollar number attached to my file. I was engaged regularly, Tracey (Ass’t) and Greg always made sure to remain constant, as well as consistent in overseeing that my case was handled properly and that it did matter in many ways - ensuring that the end result(s) would be fair and reasonable to my case/injury. The regular follow-up calls were very satisfying, knowing that you’re involved in your case matters significantly AND always. One of my main items to recognize Cellino Law and Gregory is that whenever I called, I was able to get through to speak directly to my Lawyer and he would answer any if not all of my questions in a very professional and genuinely caring manner. I always felt cared for and protected legally and more importantly, I was made feel as a human being that was being cared for and always keeping me abreast of all matters connected to the case. There was never a point I felt let down, on the contrary -the level of service was “STELLAR”. Greg is the consummate professional, a ‘role model’, if you will, for what other attorneys should strive to become when dealing with their clients.

  • 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.
