It's been ticking since July 2024. https://community.triblive.com/news/3675899 Question is, will the bell toll?
Screen shot from TikTok video (tiktok.com) shwowing the perp:
More info from Plebbit, of all places... https://www.reddit.com/r/fuckcars/comments/1pal28n/accident_cover_ups_are_cool_when_youre_bffs_with/ [ Removed by moderator ] of course, but here's what was left to salvage:
The reason they're covering up (as per another user) is this:
So, the reason this guy is so pissed is because the city is because they’re covering up what happened. The guy who hit Nicholas’ partner and kid, was the son of the Police Chiefs best friend.
Apparently, on scene the boy brandished a weapon at one point (which they covered up). He was going 55 MPH over the speed limit, and he was not breathalyzed or anything.. which is insane, considering it was July 4th weekend.
So his wife is sitting there as a vegetable, basically. And the kid gets to walk free and they’re covering it all up for the kid who caused the accident. I really hope this gentleman gets justice. The police department has been making his life hell, charging him with a lot of BS to try and shut him up. He’s got a go fund me, too.

EDIT: READ THE BOTTOM IF YOU WANT TO TAKE ACTION!
The man speaking is Nicholas Carrozza. His partner, Kathleen, suffered a traumatic brain injury in a car accident on July 7th, 2024. Their one-year-old was in the car too. Their entire life blew up overnight. Kathleen can’t work, can’t advocate for herself, and needs constant care. He’s basically raising their child alone while trying to keep her alive and recovering.
And instead of getting help or even basic transparency, he’s been getting stonewalled.
He’s been asking for footage, documents, anything to understand what actually happened in the crash. In return? Delays, threats, “stop calling,” and a complete refusal to hand over evidence. Police still have the family’s vehicle. They won’t release key video. They treat him like he’s the problem for even asking.
That’s why he’s at the council meeting. Because he’s been ignored for months while trying to figure out the truth about the accident that destroyed his family’s future. This seems like a guy who ran out of options.
It’s crazy to me that a man has to publicly beg the people in charge just to get transparency in his own case.

Edit: The town is charging him with three misdemeanors over this speech. This stinks of small town cover up. The driver is the son of the police chief's best friend.
Edit #2: Using this comment for visibility. This is WEIRD, folks. This case is now before a THIRD judge, after the first two have recused themselves. Source (triblive.com) And the Assistant DA dropped the ONLY felony charge against this person, who drove 90mph in a 35mph, went across the middle lane, and hit someone head on.
The District Attorney is Nicole Ziccarelli. (westmorelandcountypa.gov) Her email address is nziccare@westmorelandcountypa.gov. Here is a canned letter you can copy and paste:
District Attorney Ziccarelli,... (letter snipped, it's in the reddit post, if you care)
