NEW YORK (AP) - Authorities have released the names of the father and son who died along with a third man when the pickup truck they were riding in was involved in a multi-vehicle crash on a New York City highway.
The New York Police Department says 51-year-old Henry Walker of Livingston, New Jersey, had stopped his pickup behind a tractor-trailer that had stopped in the center lane of the Cross Bronx Expressway near Jerome Avenue around 5:45 a.m. Tuesday.
Police say a second tractor-trailer failed to stop in time and rear-ended the pickup, wedging it underneath the stopped truck.
Walker was killed, along with his son, Khalil Walker of Tobbyhanna, Pennsylvania, and a 58-year-old man whose name hasn’t been released.
Two other people riding in the pickup were injured, as were three people in two other vehicles.
