25 year old Zakiyyah Steward of Bedford Stuyvesant in Brooklyn, was arrested by the Nassau County Police Department. At her arraignment today in Hempstead her father said that she was not at fault in the accident that claimed the lives of 21 year old Yisroel Levin of Flatbush and 20 year old Elisheva Kaplan of Far Rockaway as previously reported on VIN News (http://bit.ly/2qbD2Jc).
ABC News (https://7ny.tv/2q9IHj0) reported that Steward told her father that Levin’s car hit hers, causing a chain reaction that had her hitting another vehicle before going over a guardrail.
According to Steward’s father, all five survivors of the accident independently told police that victims’ car was the one that “initiated the accident.”
“I feel for their families,” said Steward’s father. “My condolences go out to them but my daughter did not initiate that accident. “They looking for a scapegoat,” said Steward’s father. “The people that got killed, from what I heard, was the ones that initiated that accident. My car was totaled. And if my daughter didn’t take drastic action to move out of the way she would have been caught in that.”
Police said that both drugs and alcohol were factors in the devastating crash, charging Steward with driving while ability impaired by the combined influence of drug/alcohol and any drugs/drugs, driving while impaired by drugs, DWI and unlawful possession of marijuana.
Steward, a former UPS driver with a prior conviction, was due to be sentenced in court on Friday on a burglary conviction according to NBC News (http://bit.ly/2q8BzDO). She pleaded not guilty today at her arraignment and was being held on $25,000 bail.
Also arrested was 35 year old Rahmel Watkins of Bedford Stuyvestant. He was charged with DWI and will be arraigned after he is released after the hospital.
Nassau County police are continuing their investigation and further charges could be pending against Steward and Watkins.
so in the eyes of these I presume Obama voters, the Jews are responsible and are the perps even when they weren’t drunk, weren’t high, weren’t drag racing? Just like Hillary lost bec. she is a woman.
I was wondering how long that was going to take to blame this young engaged couple. Such an unbelievable tragedy
Talk, especially from Stewart, is cheap.
Let’s wait for the investigation to be completed.
Good idea.
The stEwart family going to start a riot
What a shtick derek both father and daughter!!!
Arrest Stewart for False Statements.
Where is rev Al ?
so let us analyze her trustworthiness. She was high on drugs and alcohol at the time of the accident, was convicted of burglary as well (a stellar citizen all around) and her father expects us to believe HER word that the victims initiated the accident and she was therefore forced to cause the rest of the problem…uh huh. May she succumb to her injuries and burn in hell.
anti semites and racists, especialy black ones, always find a way to blame the jews.
First of all the racism spewed by the commenters here is unbelievable show some class and act like from eating what’s wrong with you guys.
Second of all it’s very unlikely that that’s the case but it is possible. Why don’t we wait till the investigation is over and let’s hear what they find they are not the only one saying this, there are other people in other cars who say that the frum couple started the accident. It would be terrible but if that’s the case that’s the case and it doesn’t minimize the severity of this tragedy.
Have some class guys.
I would bet the ranch they are Hillary /Obama supporters.
