The parents of a victim in last month\u2019s terrorist truck attack along Manhattan\u2019s west side bike path filed notice Tuesday that they plan to sue the city over his grisly death.<\/p>\n

Barbara and James Drake allege that officials were \u201cgrossly negligent\u201d for \u201cfailing to remedy the known occurrence of frequent motor vehicles entering the bike path.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paperwork served on city Comptroller Scott Stringer and the Hudson River Park Trust says 32-year-old Darren Drake of New Milford, New Jersey, suffered \u201cextensive trauma\u201d along with \u201cfear and terror of the impending incident\u201d when he and seven others were fatally mowed down on Oct. 31.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy clients are heartbroken because this terrible tragedy was 100 percent preventable,\u201d plaintiffs\u2019 lawyer Rosemarie Arnold<\/a> said.<\/p>\n

The Drakes also plan to sue the state and filed similar paperwork with Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, she said. Their eventual suit will also target Home Depot, from which accused killer Sayfullo Saipov rented the flatbed truck used in the bloody attack, Arnold said.<\/p>\n

Saipov, 29, allegedly shouted \u201cAllahu akbar\u201d \u2014 Arabic for \u201cGod is great\u201d \u2013 when he hopped out of the rented flatbed truck brandishing pellet and paintball guns following the carnage, that also left more than a dozen others injured.<\/p>\n

The immigrant from Uzbekistan was busted when a cop on patrol nearby shot him in the gut, and allegedly asked for an ISIS flag to decorate his hospital room.<\/p>\n

Authorities installed concrete barriers at 57 spots along the pathway afterward.<\/p>\n

Last week, The Post revealed that data obtained by the NYC Park Advocates group showed 50 motorists were ticketed for driving on the path \u2014 and one was busted for driving while intoxicated \u2014 between January and October.<\/p>\n

Stringer\u2019s office and the Park Trust \u2014 which oversees the bike path for the city and state \u2014 declined to comment, while Scheiderman\u2019s office didn\u2019t return an inquiry.<\/p>\n

A Home Depot spokesman noted that the company \u201ccooperated with law enforcement throughout this ordeal to help them with their investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
