Clarkstown Police Department Responded To A Motor Vehicle Accident Involving A Pedestrian

Published

on

On Thursday, December 5, 2024, at approximately 3:05 p.m., the Clarkstown Police Department responded to a motor vehicle accident involving a pedestrian at the intersection of Prospect Street and South Lexow Avenue, in Nanuet.
Preliminary investigation indicates that the driver of a 1994 Grumman Food Truck, a 44-year-old male, was traveling westbound on Prospect Street when the truck experienced a mechanical issue and stalled. The driver then placed the vehicle in park and exited the truck. At this point, the driver asked a friend, a 39-year-old male, who had been following him in another vehicle, to assist him with backing the truck onto a side street.
The friend entered the food truck, placed the vehicle into neutral, and the truck began rolling back. The original driver of the truck, who has been identified as Mr. Khurram Shahzad, a 44-year-old male from Albany, positioned himself behind the vehicle to help direct the operator. During the process, the truck’s brakes reportedly failed to engage, and the vehicle unexpectedly struck Mr. Shahzad, causing severe injuries. The operator of the truck remained on scene.
The Clarkstown Police, along with the Nanuet Community Ambulance Corps and Rockland Paramedics, arrived on the scene promptly to administer medical aid. Mr. Shahzad was transported from the scene to Montefiore Nyack Hospital, where he was pronounced deceased.
The Clarkstown Police Department’s Accident Investigation Unit is continuing their investigation into the circumstances surrounding this tragic incident. Anyone who may have witnessed the accident is asked to contact the Clarkstown Police Accident Investigation Unit at (845) 639-5800.
