A tragic incident occurred on Veterans Highway in Islandia, Long Island, when a driver hit a family of geese, killing the adults and two goslings. Coleen DeLorenzo, witnessing the event, attempted to save the animals after unsuccessfully signaling the driver to slow down. Though she managed to recover four surviving goslings with help from bystanders, the scene left her devastated. The surviving goslings were later taken to Sweetbriar Nature Center, where they are reportedly doing well, highlighting the impact of callous driving on wildlife.
I saw them from a mile away. Everybody stopped. These geese were in a very perilous part of the road... I waved my hands, they never even looked up.
This van never even tapped the brake. I picked up one baby that was hit, I thought maybe we could save it, it died in my hands.
