New York State Police Seeking Witnesses in Fatal DWI

New York State Police are seeking witnesses in a fatal DWI crash that left Daniel Macalena dead early Saturday morning. According to State Police Investigator Matt Manza, Macalena, of Wappinger’s Falls, had stopped his vehicle in the center lane of the Sprain Brook Parkway just south of the Jackson Avenue exit when he was struck from behind by Henry Dobson of Nyack. Tragically, Macalena was pronounced dead at Westchester Medical Center shortly thereafter. Dobson has been charged with misdemeanor driving while intoxicated (DWI), with other charges pending.

State Police are looking for witnesses to the accident. Anyone who saw Macalana’s 2001 Nissan Altima stopped on the parkway, or anyone with other details of the accident, should call 914-769-2600 and ask for an investigator.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

" Last year I was injured in an accident, and for the first time, needed the advice of an attorney regarding how to proceed. I was referred to Thomas Gallivan through a family member who is a lawyer in Massachusetts. I am beyond pleased with how Thomas handled my case. He was knowledgeable, professional, and although the case was not as straightforward as some, he used every resource to ensure a positive outcome. Thomas communicated with me regularly and I felt completely informed and confident in his ability. He expertly negotiated a fair settlement that I was very happy with. The entire experience was extremely positive, during a stressful time for me. Thank you Thomas. "

" I was a passenger on a motorcycle and ended up falling off the back of the bike due to the driver acting like an idiot. I fell off at a high rate of speed and was very banged up. Fractured wrist and road rash down my back and elbows. I am lucky I didnt die. Not knowing what to do I contacted Thomas and he could not have been anymore helpful!! He went out of his way to meet with me. He actually came to my house for the initial consultation. I know nothing about law or what my options even were. He took me through everything step by step.
