A crash on a busy parkway in Northern Westchester left a 33-year-old man dead.
The incident happened on Monday, July 8 around 7:20 p.m. on the southbound Taconic State Parkway in Yorktown near Granite Knolls Park, according to Trooper AJ Hicks of the New York State Police.
Arriving first responders found 33-year-old Ramon Feliu Disla of New York City ejected from his vehicle. Despite efforts from Good Samaritans to save his life, he was pronounced dead at the crash scene, Hicks said.
An investigation later determined that Feliu Disla had been driving a 2015 BMW M5 at high speed before hitting a guard rail and rolling over, according to Hicks.
Several miles north of the crash scene, Feliu Disla may have engaged in a "speed contest" with an unknown motorcycle, Hicks said. Any witnesses who may have seen this are asked to call 914-769-2600 and reference case number 11927228.
The incident also caused traffic delays on the parkway.
The investigation into the crash is still ongoing.
