Woman drives from Queens to Brooklyn with man clinging to roof

Web produced by Cristina Romano, Eyewitness News

CYPRESS HILLS (WABC) -- A woman is in custody Sunday night after the NYPD says she drove from Queens to Brooklyn with a man clinging to the roof of her SUV. The man died, and three others were injured when she crashed into another SUV in Cypress Hills.

The accident happened shortly before 9 on Sunday morning. Pieces of wreckage still litter the intersection.

According to Police Commissioner Ray Kelly, the couple was married, and there was a dispute over money. The male wanted the keys to the car, and the woman got in the car with the man on the hood.

The man was desperately clinging on to the hood of the Blue Ford Explorer, and rode on the outside as the SUV tore through the city streets. The driver eventually crashed into a white Nissan at the intersection of Jamaica Avenue and Crescent in the Cypress Hills section of Brooklyn.

shortage of guns in this story.

Would it not be more economical of the insurance compaies to issue guns than pay for damages to the cars?
