Child survives fall from 70 foot Long Island Expressway overpass
Long Island, New York (NewYorkInjuryNews.com) — A four year child miraculously survived a fall from a seventy foot Long Island Expressway (LIE) overpass on Thursday while being ejected from a pickup and landed in a truck bed below. The pickup had been driven by the mother of the child, Rosa Zhinin, 31 who hails from Mastic Beach. The gender and the name of the four year old child was not disclosed. It is exactly not known whether the child was secured to a booster seat when the accident took place.
Immediately after the accident on Thursday night, both the child and mother were taken to Stony Brook University Medical Center where both they were reported to be stable condition. Zhinin was behind the wheel of a Ford pickup while on the east of Long Island Expressway’s southern service road along the Long Island Expressway’s Sagtikos Parkway near the Commack’s exit 54. Around 1:45 PM, Zhinin’s truck collided with a trailer truck with a flatbed which was traveling eastwards.
Such was the force of the direct impact that the young child was ejected from the pickup and was thrown onto the grass median that was 70 feet under the overpass around the exit of Wick Road. A Medevac helicopter brought both the child and mother while an ambulance took them to the hospital.
After the accident, there have been no summons issued to Rosa Zhinin or to the driver of flatbed truck, John Catalanotto, 37, who is a native of Deer Park. However, the detectives from Third Squad are investigating the incident that led to such a big accident.
