Road-test horror stories are usually told by failed applicants, but a Queens DMV license examiner claims she was seriously hurt by an oil truck that plowed into a test vehicle.
Chairiese Harrison was knocked out of work for a year by the truck, which rammed the test car as it stopped to turn into a parking lot, according to a lawsuit filed last month in Queens Supreme Court.
“She was hurt badly,” suffering a separated shoulder, torn ligaments and nerve damage in the March 2007 crash, said her lawyer, Andrew Levine.
It was big car versus small car,” he said. “Her injuries were confirmed by workmen’s compensation.”
She was testing Raji George, 27, on Hollis Hill Terrace when the truck whipped out from a side street, Levine said.
The owner of the truck, Standard Heating, said it had yet to receive the suit. George, who automatically failed the test, didn’t return a call for comment.
