NYPD officers suspended for reportedly fleeing car chase leading to fatal fiery crash
Two NYPD officers have been suspended for reportedly fleeing the scene of a fiery car crash that occurred after a pursuit of a stolen vehicle. The officers had followed the suspect down the Henry Hudson Parkway before the crash, which involved a stolen Honda CR-V crashing into a building near Inwood Hill Park and catching fire. Officials allege that the officers left the scene without reporting the incident, and surveillance footage supports this claim. Unfortunately, the driver of the stolen vehicle died in the crash, and the cause of death is still being investigated. This incident comes amidst the NYPD's recent efforts to reduce risky police pursuits, with new guidelines discouraging officers from chasing vehicles involved in routine traffic stops to prevent dangerous situations that may harm the public.
