INWOOD, Manhattan (WABC) -- Two NYPD officers have been suspended after they allegedly left the scene of a fiery crash in Manhattan before the driver died.
The officers, both assigned to the 50th Precinct, are accused of failing to report the crash of a Honda CRV on Dyckman Street just before 5 a.m. on Wednesday.
Sources tell Eyewitness News that the officers had followed the vehicle, which was reported stolen, southbound on the Henry Hudson Parkway from the Bronx into Upper Manhattan.
When the driver exited the Henry Hudson Parkway and crashed, the officers are believed to have turned around and returned to their Bronx precinct without reporting what happened.
