Police Inaction Questioned After Fatal Crash Caught on Video

A surveillance video has emerged, showing the aftermath of a fatal car accident in New York City on April 2, 2025, raising serious questions about the response of the police. Francisco Guzmán, 31, died after crashing a stolen Honda. The video shows a police car passing the scene 15 seconds after the impact, without stopping to assist. Carmen Colón, Guzmán's foster mother, expressed her heartbreak, stating, "After seeing those images, we are more devastated." The incident is under investigation by the Internal Affairs Division, and the two officers involved have been suspended with pay. Guzmán's lawyer alleges the officers failed to provide aid and even turned off their emergency lights upon approaching the vehicle. The case underscores concerns about police conduct and the need for thorough investigation.
