The Mauritania-born and Senegalese-raised husband, father and also Lyft driver of the past 15 years spent his final moments on the job on Ocean Parkway near Avenue S after police say a speeding black Audi sedan rear-ended his Toyota Camry just after midnight. &#8220;He helped people to help apartments to get food. He was a very generous guy,&#8221; said his nephew Djiby Ba. The impact was so powerful, Dia&#8217;s door ripped off. His 39-year-old female passenger was trapped inside. <a href=\"https:\/\/abc7ny.com\/post\/driver-killed-ocean-parkway-crash-brooklyn-audi-sought\/19909374\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">More on this from ABC 7 Eyewitness News<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 62-year-old livery driver was killed and his passenger critically injured in a violent three-vehicle crash on Ocean&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":365839,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[98,100,99,9,24,63],"class_list":["post-365838","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/365838","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=365838"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/365838\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/365839"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=365838"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=365838"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=365838"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
