Drunk driver set off deadly chain of car wrecks: cops
A boozed up motorist set off a deadly chain of car wrecks in the Bronx early Saturday, that left a man dead and two women injured, police said.
The drunken 2006 Jeep driver, Andres Mayora, 54, was flying north up Bronx Blvd. in Parkside at about 2:50 a.m. when he slammed into the back of a silver 2012 Nissan Altima also traveling north, operated by Shiquan Dunn, 31, police said.
The collision caused Dunn’s car to spin out of control and slam into another Nissan Altima making a left turn onto the highway from Burke Avenue, cops said.
Mayora’s Jeep also crashed into two cars parked outside a nearby apartment building, police said.
Dunn died at the scene and a 28-year-old woman riding in the passenger seat was transported to Jacobi Medical Center with minor injuries, according to authorities.
A 48-year-old woman in the second Altima and Mayora were also transported to Jacobi with minor injuries, cops said.
The intoxicated driver was charged with driving under the influence, according to authorities.
