A suspected drunk driver drove into a crash scene early Monday morning on the Belt Parkway, running into a police cruiser and killing a Brooklyn man.
The 35-year-old victim had stopped on the left side of the Belt Parkway after rear-ending another driver around 1 a.m., police say. Peter Tse was behind the wheel of a BMW i8 when he hit a 55-year-old woman driving a Honda Pilot.
Both drivers in the rear-end crash remained on the scene and were cooperating with a police officer who pulled up to the scene with the cruiser's emergency lights on, according to the NYPD.
Tse was standing on the side of the road when a suspected drunk driver came from behind at a high-rate of speed and struck the police cruiser and Brooklyn man, police say.
