Four 18-year-olds high school graduates have died instantly when a recklessly driving man decided to flee police at extremely high-speed late Monday.
The 36-year-old driver identified as Devon Haywood slammed his 2009 Infiniti into the youngsters’ 2006 Nissan splitting it in half with their bodies ejected all around Riverdale Avenue in an accident that “was nothing short of tragic.”
“Four young lives were cut short by the recklessness of one individual,” Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano said. “Let this be a lesson to all who drive at excessive speeds – it not only puts your life at risk but also the innocent lives with whom you share the road.”
Haywood was asked to pull over when deputies spotted him driving erratically but he chose to flee the cops and took off at “beyond reckless speeds” only to come across the victims’ car turning onto Riverdale Avenue from Culver Street.
The four men were identified as Brandon Sierra, Randy Brisbane, Tamari Watkins, and Anthony Cruz, and were all 18-year-olds from Yonkers.
