Cops cuffed a 28-year-old woman in the Bronx on Saturday afternoon for intentionally plowing into and killing a moped driver, authorities said.
According to police sources, officers from the 41st Precinct rushed to Fox Street and Intervale Avenue on Nov. 25 at around 2:22 p.m. after they received reports of a major vehicle collision.
Police say that the woman was driving a red Honda Civic southbound on Fox Street when she collided with 23-year-old Robert Jimenez, who was also traveling southbound. Jimenez was thrown from the scooter, causing serious injuries to his body.
