Shocking new surveillance video shows an SUV speed on a busy Harlem thoroughfare and plow into two delivery workers on bikes, one of whom died as a result, police said.<\/p>\n
The vehicle can be seen on the video zooming down West 125th Street just after 8 p.m. Thursday night, speeding past other cars and barreling through the bike lane. The driver then struck the two bicyclists in a collision that was so violent, one of the workers went flying in the air. <\/p>\n
As the SUV goes by in an instant, a number of people on the sidewalk were understandably startled, including two in the video who jumped out of the way and fell to the ground. <\/p>\n
The speeding car continued its rampage, striking an unoccupied NYPD vehicle and then a tractor-trailer before finally coming to a stop.<\/p>\n
In all, one worker was killed and four other people were hurt; the other worker on a bike suffered critical injuries. The delivery worker killed was identified as 28-year-old Darly Zacar\u00edas, of the Bronx.<\/p>\n
There was also extensive damage to vehicles in the area, right outside the famed Apollo Theater.<\/p>\n
“It was like an explosion. It hit the gray car that was waiting over there. Then the pieces, they flew off, hit my car too. Like [the driver] hit the truck and just kept stepping on the gas,” said witness Jonathan Morillo.<\/p>\n
The driver of the speeding SUV was taken into custody at the scene. On Friday, police said 49-year-old Kevin Crosby had been charged with manslaughter and driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Attorney information for Crosby was not immediately available.<\/p>\n
An investigation into the cause of the crash and why the SUV was going so fast is ongoing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Shocking new surveillance video shows an SUV speed on a busy Harlem thoroughfare and plow into two delivery…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":169961,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[2227,469,75,9,11,10],"class_list":{"0":"post-169960","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-car-crash","9":"tag-harlem","10":"tag-manhattan","11":"tag-new-york","12":"tag-new-york-headlines","13":"tag-new-york-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/169960","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=169960"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/169960\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/169961"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=169960"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=169960"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=169960"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
