RIP Helen Malinowski – Dyker Heights Accident
There was a lot of traffic in Dyker Heights tonight because police were investigating an accident that took place before 3:00 pm and closed some streets for hours. Video here
A serious accident accident happened on 81st Street and 11th Avenue this afternoon. There were a lot of people viewing the lights in Dyker Heights.
An Uber driver’s car (called a taxi by the news) was struck by another car. The Uber driver’s car then hit into a parked car. One person died – two people (the Uber driver and the other passenger) were injured and are in stable condition. (source)
Helen Malinowski, an 89-year old woman was taken to Lutheran Hospital, but passed on. She was a passenger in the backseat of the Uber car (with another 79 year old woman). May she rest in peace – prayers for her family.
The taxi driver, Marlene Romero, 42 was went to the hospital and then was charged with Aggravated Unlicensed Operation of a motor vehicle because she was driving with a suspended license. The police did not say Romero was responsible for the crash. (source) The driver that hit the taxi stayed at the scene, but was not arrested.
Prayers for all those involved.
I saw this website with information and wanted to link here because this is very well thought out.
Hugs,
marlene
