On Friday evening, May 15, a tragic accident on the streets of Upper Manhattan, New York, took two lives. In the immediate aftermath, conversations about whether the driver was inebriated and the death of a father in his early 30s who had just welcomed triplets and “had everything ahead of him” dominated the headlines.
The entire ordeal happened at around 6 p.m. The 61-year-old driver was in a black Mercedes near Amsterdam Avenue and West 109th Street in Morningside Heights. According to Yahoo, one eyewitness who was heading to the exact spot said the accident scene looked as horrific as a “Halloween set-up.”
