NANUET, N.Y. According to the Clarkstown Police Department, a food truck on Prospect Street in Nanuet tragically crashed Thursday afternoon, killing a 44-year-old man from Albany.
At approximately 3:05 p.m., Khurram Shahzad, the driver of a 1994 Grumman food truck, had a technical problem that resulted in the truck stalling. Shahzad parked the truck, got out, and requested a friend who had been following him in another car to assist him pull the truck onto a side street.
