A tragic incident occurred when a car crashed into a nail salon in New York, resulting in the deaths of four people, including an off-duty NYPD officer, and injuring nine others. The driver, Steven Schwally, allegedly drank 18 beers before getting behind the wheel. According to prosecutors, Schwally’s eyes were bloodshot and his speech was slurred when officers spoke with him at the crash scene.
The incident was captured on video, showing the car speeding out of a parking lot and crashing into the Hawaii Nail & Spa in a strip mall. The impact was severe, destroying the small storefront and causing widespread damage. Schwally was arraigned on DWI charges and is facing serious consequences for his actions.
The victims of the crash have been identified as Jiancai Chen, Yan Xu, Meizi Zhang, and NYPD Officer Emilia Rennhack, who was off-duty at the time of the incident. The community is still reeling from the shock of the tragedy, and the NYPD is mourning the loss of one of its own officers.
