Garbage truck kills Bushwick resident

What a terrible tragedy. It is things like this that make you realize how short life really is. Flushing ave is very dangerous,not only with all the truck traffic but the conditions of the road as well. This happened around 4:15 pm yesterday.

Oh that's terrible. I walked past Bogart and Flushing a little before 7 last night and I was wondering why they had the flares up and street blocked going that way.

Anybody find out more details on how this fatal accident happened?
