Driver Sought in Brooklyn Crash That Killed 62-Year-Old Livery Driver

A 62-year-old livery driver was killed and his passenger critically injured in a violent three-vehicle crash on Ocean Parkway in Brooklyn early Monday morning.

The pain is still raw for the nephew of Yaya Dia. The Mauritania-born and Senegalese-raised husband, father and also Lyft driver of the past 15 years spent his final moments on the job on Ocean Parkway near Avenue S after police say a speeding black Audi sedan rear-ended his Toyota Camry just after midnight. "He helped people to help apartments to get food. He was a very generous guy," said his nephew Djiby Ba. The impact was so powerful, Dia's door ripped off. His 39-year-old female passenger was trapped inside. More on this from ABC 7 Eyewitness News.
