“Kevin Cruickshank and May Kwok were simply enjoying their mornings outside when Autumn Romero and Kennedy Lecraft allegedly crashed into them at a high speed, tragically ending their lives,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Safety on our streets is an essential component of public safety, and we will hold people who commit harm with their vehicles accountable. My heart goes out to the loved ones of Ms. Kwok and Mr. Cruickshank, and my office will pursue justice for them.”

“This was a horrific tragedy that has left a family with six children continuing to grieve,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Accountability for out-of-control driving is an important component of achieving overall public safety. When people fail to follow the rules of the road, it puts the well-being of everyone who goes about their day in Manhattan at risk.”

“This incident is a horrific tragedy, and my heartfelt thoughts are with the loved ones of Mr. Walker and Mr. McLaurin. Mr. Walker was set to get married the next day and these families should have been celebrating that joyous occasion,” said District Attorney Bragg. “My office is continuing to investigate this incident, and I encourage anyone who was driving on the Henry Hudson Parkway that morning and saw a car driving the wrong way to call 212-335-9040.” 

“As alleged, Angel Melendez’s extremely reckless driving killed 51-year-old Nadjari Reid, a lifelong New Yorker, and injured a second pedestrian. My thoughts are with Mr. Reid’s loved ones as they continue to mourn his loss,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Dangerous drivers who recklessly endanger, harm, or kill pedestrians will be held accountable.”
