	New York: Homeless man crushed to death by sanitation vehicle
		The expressway in the area straddling the Greenpoint and Williamsburg neighborhoods of Brooklyn, just across the East River from Lower Manhattan, has long been used by the homeless because it provides shelter from wind and rain.

		The section of the highway where the man was killed is also just a short distance from an all-night diner, a church where food is sometimes distributed to the homeless, and a day labor agency.
