I'm going to go through a pin on the Henry Hudson at George Washington. The confines are 3-3-Priest. And they're looking for a male, white, 5'10", wearing a white shirt, led towards Fort Washington on foot.

The best access for EMS currently would be to come on the Henry Hudson heading south and then go over the barrier. Traffic's all backed up. They have to come from the north heading south. Also, 1099 CPR in progress. One victim from the car accident. All right, 10-4, Battalion 13. Also, do you need the Marine units to continue in? Yes, sir.

This is the worst news today. May god be with him, his fiancé, and their family

This is horrific. Instead of having a wedding they are having a funeral. My heart breaks for his family and friends. Unbearable sorrow for them all.

This is so heartbreaking. I feel for their families especially his fiancée. This is supposed to be special time and instead of a wedding she’ll be attending a funeral. I hate hit and run drivers I have no respect for them. Stay on the scene and show respect. Hopefully the families get justice 🙏🏼

A similar situation happened in my home town in SC-- drunk driver hit and killed a bride as she was leaving her wedding with her groom. Nobody deserves such pain and tragedy .
