It took days for NYPD to track down the driver of a flatbed truck who ran over Mathieu Lefevre in East Williamsburg on October 18. According to Erika Lefevre, who continues to wait for a full account of her son’s death, police said the truck was found two blocks away, and showed visible damage from the collision. She was also told that charges had been dropped against the driver — whose name she still doesn’t know — though she is doubtful charges were ever filed.
“There’s no criminality,” an NYPD spokesman told Metro. “That’s why they call it an accident.”
Whatever caused the collision between the driver and Mathieu Lefevre, it is illegal in New York State to leave the scene of a crash.
