NYPD DCPI Narrative: "On Saturday, November 16, 2019, at approximately 0238 hours, police responded to a 911 call of a single motor vehicle collision on the FDR Drive at East 23 Street, within the confines of the 13 Precinct. Upon arrival, officers observed a 2016 black Lexus sedan mounted on the center median. The operator, a 25-year-old male, was discovered inside the vehicle, unconscious and unresponsive, with severe head trauma. Two additional occupants were also discovered at the scene; a 25-year-old male passenger and a 25-year-old female passenger. The male passenger was discovered outside the vehicle with trauma about the legs and torso. The female passenger was also discovered outside the vehicle with trauma about the legs and right foot. EMS responded to the location transported all three occupants to Bellevue Hospital, where the operator was pronounced deceased and the passengers were listed in serious but stable condition; the female sustained a severed right foot. Further investigation by the NYPD Highway District's Collision Investigation Squad determined the vehicle was traveling northbound on the FDR, approaching East 25 Street, at an apparent high rate of speed, when the vehicle-mounted the center median, causing the male and female passengers to become ejected from the vehicle and come to a rest in the southbound travel lanes. The investigation remains ongoing."
