Finger pointing begins in search for cause of New York limo crash
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Lawyers for the family of a limousine driver who died along with 19 others in an upstate New York accident and the owner of the vehicle are clashing over the cause of the deadliest U.S. transport accident in nearly a decade. New York State police said the driver, 53-year-old Scott Lisinicchia, did not have the proper license to operate the 2001 Ford Excursion limousine that crashed in Schoharie, New York, on Saturday night and that the vehicle had failed inspection last month. A lawyer for Prestige Limousine, which owned the vehicle, said the safety violations that led it to fail inspection last month were largely minor and did not cause the crash. “I don’t think that these infractions were what led to the tragedy,” attorney Lee Kindlon told CBS News in an interview. Reuters was not able to reach Prestige Limousine for comment and the company’s listed phone number was disconnected. But a lawyer for the driver’s family said the … [Read more...] about Finger pointing begins in search for cause of New York limo crash
Wake Forest basketball coach accused of throwing punch that killed New York City tourist
NEW YORK -- A rising college basketball coaching star was accused of throwing a punch that killed a New York City tourist who had apparently mistaken the coach for an Uber driver. Wake Forest University assistant coach Jamill Jones pleaded not guilty Thursday to an assault charge. Jones attacked digital marketing guru Sandor Szabo around 1:15 a.m. last Sunday in Queens, police said. Szabo fell and smashed his head on the sidewalk. Szabo, visiting from Boca Raton, Florida, banged on the window of Jones' SUV while looking for his ride after his stepsister's wedding, police said. The coach got out, followed Szabo to the sidewalk, clocked him and sped off, police said. Szabo never regained consciousness and was taken off life support Tuesday. Josh Gillon, the CEO of the company where Szabo worked, told WABC-TV Szabo's co-workers were shocked by his death.

Investigators of New York helicopter crash examine whether passenger restraints stopped escape
Investigators recovered a flight data recorder and a GoPro camera Tuesday as they tried to determine the cause of a deadly helicopter crash in New York City's East River and figure out whether passengers' harnesses hindered their escape from the sinking aircraft. The helicopter's five passengers drowned when it capsized after touching down in the river, city medical examiners said. The pilot escaped. National Transportation Safety Board investigators picked over the damaged helicopter at a police hangar in Brooklyn as one victim's family sued chopper owner Liberty Helicopters and others. The lawsuit spotlights the harnesses used in the open-door flight, and notes that the aircraft's inflatable floats didn't keep it from flipping over and sinking. The way passengers were harnessed, with a release mechanism in the back, there "was just no prospect of safely escaping," said Gary C. Robb, a lawyer for the parents of 26-year-old Trevor Cadigan. "Hanging upside-down in frigid water - stunned … [Read more...] about Investigators of New York helicopter crash examine whether passenger restraints stopped escape
