New York Police Chase Accident LawyerA tragic police chase in Astoria, Queens, on Tuesday night claimed the life of a cyclist when a driver, fleeing from NYPD officers, fatally struck her. The driver, who was attempting to evade arrest for burglary, was speeding along 34th Avenue before hitting the cyclist on 37th Avenue. This marks yet another fatality resulting from the surge in police chases under Mayor Adams’ administration, prompting concerns about the NYPD’s policies regarding high-speed pursuits.

As NYPD chase accident lawyers, we understand the devastating consequences of reckless pursuits in densely populated neighborhoods. In this case, the police pursuit resulted in not only the senseless death of a cyclist but also intense public outcry about the necessity and safety of such actions.

In New York City, where traffic is already chaotic, engaging in high-speed chases in residential areas is a recipe for disaster. The aftermath of this chase, in which the suspect continued to evade police while an innocent cyclist lost her life, raises the question: Was it worth it? As advocates for victims of road violence, we firmly believe that no property crime, such as burglary, should justify endangering lives in this manner.

Ainsley Dalrymple was killed by a hit and run driver in QueensIn a significant development, the alleged driver responsible for a fatal hit-and-run accident in Queens in 2019 has been captured in Guyana, bringing some measure of closure to the family of the victim, Ainsley Dalrymple. Ravindra Dharamjit, the suspect who fled the country to evade justice, has been extradited to New York City, where he now faces serious charges.

The tragic incident occurred on Christmas Day in 2019 when Ainsley Dalrymple, a 67-year-old father of four, was struck and killed by a 2012 Toyota Tundra while crossing Rockaway Blvd. in Ozone Park. The truck, allegedly driven by Dharamjit, was traveling at an alarming speed—74 mph in a 25 mph zone—on the wrong side of the road. The force of the impact sent Dalrymple flying 157 feet, causing fatal injuries.

After the accident, Dharamjit reportedly returned the borrowed vehicle to its owner, claiming he had crashed it and would repair it later. However, within days, Dharamjit fled the United States, leaving the Dalrymple family to mourn their tremendous loss without justice.
