On Sunday, May 26, 2024, at approximately 5:28 a.m., police are responding to a motor vehicle collision in the vicinity of Central Avenue and Gates Avenue. Further investigation by NYPD's Collision Investigation Squad is determining that a marked police vehicle is attempting to conduct a traffic stop on a Mercedes Benz operated by 32-year-old male Juan Lopez, when it flees westbound on Gates Avenue, traveling at an apparent high rate of speed, in an attempt to evade police.
