(WNY News Now) – Brooklyn, NY — A 24-year-old man has been charged in connection with an October crash that claimed the life of an Uber driver on the Belt Parkway, police announced Tuesday.
Fitzroy Moore faces charges of manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide, assault, reckless endangerment, reckless driving, and speeding for his role in the collision that killed Rakibul Hasan, 24. Hasan, an Uber driver, was on his way home when the tragedy struck.
