Jan 2, 2025, 06:20 PM
In Brooklyn, New York, a 69-year-old driver struck two Orthodox Jewish women pushing babies in strollers on December 31 at 2:42 pm at the intersection of Kings Highway and Nostrand Avenue. The incident, captured on surveillance video, initially raised concerns of a hate crime, prompting an investigation by the NYPD. However, further investigation revealed that the driver remained at the scene, was apologetic, and had no criminal or malicious intent. Minor injuries were reported among the victims. The NYPD has since determined that the incident was not a hate crime, but rather the result of an elderly driver not paying attention.
