Did Fight Over Woman Lead to #BronxZoo Crash?

Did Fight Over Woman Lead to #BronxZoo Crash?



 By David Greene
BRONX, NEW YORK (BRONX NEWS)- Two men were injured after a high-speed chase ended in a horrific collision between an automobile and a motorcycle-- apparently sparked over the attention of a woman.
Unfortunately, neither the NYPD or the FDNY has any record of the incident that created gridlock in the area for much of the morning commute.
Witnesses reported the incident along East Fordham Road, east of Southern Boulevard, at the entrance to the Bronx Zoo at 5 a.m. on August 6.
One witness who declined to be identified, stated, "A small white car was lying upside down and there were emergency vehicles all around it at the entrance to the Bronx Zoo."
The motorcycle apparently hit a wall and was unrecognizable from the impact, the engine to the car popped out of the vehicle-- witnesses say it was a miracle that anyone survived.
According to the unidentified NYPD tow truck operator who removed the vehicles, who claimed the motorcycle was stolen and it's driver was fleeing from the man in the automobile.
The tow truck driver reported, "They were both arrested. They were fighting over a girl and this guy got mad and tried to run him over for being with his girlfriend."The tow truck driver then offered, "You can have all of my girls."
Chris Cruz drove past the scene on his scooter, an activity he has enjoyed for the last 45-years. Looking out over the wreckage, Cruz remarked, "They're driving very crazy now and the ones who often pay are the innocent people."
Now looking at the onlookers, drivers slowing down to take a look at the crash-site, Cruz added, "I hope people learn a lesson seeing this."
Both victims were reportedly taken to Jacobi Hospital and were expected to survive.
Repeated inquiries to the NYPD, the NYPD's Highway Patrol, the FDNY and the Bronx District Attorney's office produced no record of the incident.

Less than 24-hours later a bicyclist was reported struck by a vehicle a few hundred yards away, along Pelham Parkway at the entrance to the Bronx River Parkway-- and no record of that incident could be provided by officials.
