A Bronx man has been arrested and charged with manslaughter and driving under the influence after a high-speed crash on West 125th Street in Harlem Thursday night killed a 28-year-old cyclist and injured four other people, police said.
Kevin Crosby, 49, of the Bronx, was arrested Friday, according to the NYPD, who identified the victim as Darly Zacarias, 28, also of the Bronx.
The crash occurred around 8 p.m. Thursday near the intersection of West 125th Street and Frederick Douglass Boulevard.
Police said Saturday that Crosby was driving a Hyundai Tucson eastbound in the bus lane at a high speed when he struck two cyclists on e-bikes from behind. Crosby continued driving east before hitting an empty police car, which subsequently hit a parked Lexus NX350 with two passengers, officials said. He then hit an unoccupied tractor trailer and a Toyota Rav 4 with yet another driver inside.
Zacarias was taken to Mount Sinai Morningside, where police said he was pronounced dead. The other cyclist, a 33-year-old male, was taken to Harlem Hospital in critical condition. The others, two men and one woman, were in stable condition but were also transported to Harlem Hospital, per authorities.
Gothamist previously reported that fatal crashes are relatively rare in the 28th Precinct, which covers Central Harlem. There have been no other traffic deaths in that area so far this year – and none in the same period last year.
The investigation remains ongoing.
An attorney for Crosby was not immediately available for comment.
