Duracell and Energizer both have factories in the US. They also have factories overseas.

Could have been avoided if habitual speeding was properly addressed.
NY Daily News 11/22/24 Headline: 1 dead, 7 others injured in smashup at bridge in Qns. Article Text: BY THOMAS TRACY NEW YORK DAILY NEWS A 75-year-old man died and seven other people, including a 9-year-old girl, were injured, following a multiple car crash that left one vehicle on its side at the foot of the Kosciuszko Bridge in Queens Thursday, police said. The crash happened in Maspeth on the Brooklyn-bound side of the rainswept Brooklyn-Queens Expressway approaching Exit 34 at Meeker and Morgan Aves. at around 10:50 a.m., cops said. The Kosciuszko Bridge spans Newtown Creek between Brooklyn and The vehicles involved included a pickup truck, a green New York City "boro taxi," an SUV and a sedan. Investigators believe a 46-year-old man driving the pickup truck sparked the crash by colliding into a vehicle in front of him. That vehicle proceeded to hit two other vehicles, according to a preliminary report. The heavy rains may have played a factor in the crash, police said. Eight people from the four-car pileup, including the 75-year-old man and 9-year-old child, were rushed to Elmhurst Hospital Center for emergency care. The 75-year-old died at the hospital. His name was not immediately disclosed. The girl was unconscious at the scene of the crash, but regained consciousness at the hospital, police said. She's currently in stable condition. Video on the Citizen app shows most of the vehicles on the far-right lane and shoulder of the highway. One of them, the Chevy Suburban, overturned and landed on its passenger side. Multiple lanes were shut down, backing up traffic in both Brooklyn and Queens, as members of the NYPD's collision investigation squad were investigating the scene, officials said. The 46-year-old driver remained at the scene. Charges were not immediately filed.

Obligatory:

This reminds me of the official NYC 311 article that used to mention an ‘odor from New Jersey’ 😂
Screenshot reading: Call 311 to report: * Chemical odor, including from a sewer or catch basin * Sweet-smelling odor from an unknown source * Odor from a factory or an industrial plant * Odor from a wastewater or sewage treatment plant * Odor from New Jersey See Air Service Requests on the 311 Service Request Map.

These signs would probably be more effective than what currently passes for driver education campaigns in the US.
Highway style sign reading “Put the phone down bitch” below a Speed Limit 45 sign on a sign rail installed behind a guardrail.

I wonder if these drivers are really trying to cut Van Wyck traffic, or if they wanted to turn on Jewel Avenue but accidentally took the park exit ramp instead of staying on the ‘main’ exit ramp.

It’s confusing for those unfamiliar with the area, there’s essentially a double exit ramp.

1. Was this case the impetus for the NYPD encrypting their radios?

2. Why did this take four years?
