CENTRE STREET,
Oct 20 – A drunk driving
incident which killed four
people on the Lower East Side
on the 4th of July 2024 was
dissected in a bench trial on
October 20 before Justice
April A. Newbauer. Inner City
Press was there - as were
dozens of LES residents, many
of them present at the time of
the crash.
As a
female witness testified, the
narrative turned to a man who
had tried to pull the
obviously drunk Daniel Hyden
out of his still-running
pickup truck.
A man in the
gallery raised his hand -
like, that was me! - but was
told to take his hand down by
court
security.
Justice
Newbauer heard argument on
whether Hyden's memoir of
being a drunk driver turned
substance abuse counselor can
come into the evidence before
her. The prosecutor promised
to come forward with a witness
to authenticate the
memoir.
