State Supreme Court Justice April Newbauer found Daniel Hyden, 44, guilty of the top counts he faced, aggravated vehicular homicide, and related charges for ramming his Ford F-150 into community members celebrating in Corlears Hook Park, less than an hour after he’d been denied access to a boat party by nearby Pier 36 because he was too drunk.

“Family and friends were enjoying a Fourth of July barbeque in Corlears Hook Park before their lives were drastically and tragically changed forever. Daniel Hyden was intoxicated when he drove through a fence, killing Lucille Pinkney, Herman Pinkney, Ana Morel, and Emily Ruiz, as well as injuring seven others,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Today, the court found him guilty of numerous crimes for this horrific act of vehicular violence, including four counts of Murder in the Second Degree. While this verdict won’t bring them back to life, I hope that this conviction can bring at least some measure of comfort for their friends and family.”
