The NYPD has confirmed that a 41-year-old Bronx man has died following a car accident. On Sunday, Jan. 9, at approximately 4.04 a.m., police responded to a 911 call following a vehicle collision which occurred on the southbound Major Deegan Expressway at West 233rd Street on the Kingsbridge border.

They said a preliminary investigation determined that a 41-year-old man driving a 2015 Black Acura TLX was traveling southbound on the Major Deegan Expressway when he struck the rear of a 2003 White Mack NYC Sanitation plow truck driven by a 43-year-old man. The truck was also traveling southbound on the expressway.

EMS responded and removed the 43-year-old victim to New York Presbyterian Hospital in stable condition, and removed the 41-year-old victim to Saint Barnabas Hospital, where he was later pronounced deceased. He has since been identified as Kevin Thompson, 41, of Weeks Avenue, located just south of the Mt Hope section of the Bronx.

The investigation remains ongoing by the NYPD’s highway collision investigation squad (CIS). For CIS investigations, the NYPD handles any criminal investigations, while NYC DOT reviews the street design at the locations of such crashes.
