NYPD Under Fire After Surveillance Video Shows Officers Leaving Deadly Crash Scene

Inwood Crash Raises Questions After NYPD Cruiser Seen Leaving Scene A fatal car crash in Inwood, Manhattan, on April 2, 2025, has sparked controversy after surveillance footage appeared to show NYPD officers leaving the scene before emergency services arrived. The victim, 31-year-old Francisco Andres Guzman Parra, died in the fiery crash. The video, obtained by CBS New York, shows Parra speeding down the Dyckman Street exit before losing control and crashing. Seconds later, an NYPD cruiser is seen taking the same exit, but it makes a left turn and departs the scene. "We're seeing a crime being committed. They could have helped get him out," stated a distraught family member in an interview. The family's attorney added that emergency crews arrived approximately 20 minutes after the crash. NYPD officials have yet to comment on the video or the allegations of delayed response. The incident has raised serious questions about the police department's handling of the emergency response and is currently under investigation. The family's attorney is calling for a full and transparent investigation into the matter.
