NYPD officer arrested in fatal East Flatbush drunk driving crash
An off-duty NYPD cop was arrested in a fatal drunk driving crash Sunday morning, after he allegedly slammed his car into another vehicle in East Flatbush, killing a passenger in the other car.
NYPD officer Rohan Shaw was driving east on Foster Avenue in his 2019 Nissan GTR around 5 a.m. and the other car, a Mazda driven by a man with two women passengers, was heading north on East 55th Street when they collided in the intersection, sending the Mazda spinning out into a telephone pole.
The driver of the Mazda fled the scene on foot, leaving his mortally injured passenger, Joanna Dixon, and another woman in the car.
Dixon was taken to Brookdale Hospital, where she died. The other passenger was taken to the hospital as well, but is expected to survive.
