After street-sweeper truck kills man, family sues with Rubenstein’s help
Hours after the Brooklyn Nets won 107-105 over the Detroit Pistons, a street-sweeper truck struck and killed a man outside of the Barclays Center. Ronald Sinvil, 36, had just left a Christmas party and was headed to his girlfriend Jvonne Crump’s apartment in East New York. He never made it there.
“It makes no sense,” Sinvil’s sister, Marlene Darbouze, said during a recent press conference. The NYPD accident report states that Sinvil slipped and fell into the path of the large and slow moving sweeper.
Even though the accident occurred at the busy intersection of Atlantic and Flatbush avenues, the police report does not list any witnesses.
