This is just one of the many weekly incidents in Ravenswood. PSA 9 and other local police precincts always turn a blind eye to the blatant illegal activity happening daily out of residents cars. Trust me they are NOT TAILGATING.

Ray Perez, 27, of Caton Avenue in Flatbush, was arraigned Thursday in Queens Supreme Court on a 13-count indictment charging him with vehicular manslaughter for allegedly speeding through a stop sign in Astoria, colliding with another vehicle and slamming into two parked cars, and then driving nearly four miles away to a street in Maspeth before seeking help for his 29-year-old girlfriend Bridget Enriquez, who later succumbed to her injuries.
