Episode #13134 - Hot Off The Presses: WHOA!
A drunken driver slammed his Cadillac into a traffic signal, a median and a parked car in Brooklyn early Saturday, killing his girlfriend who was in the backseat, cops said.
Nyron Isaac, 32, was driving north on Fourth Ave. when he struck the traffic signal between 25th and 26th Sts. in Sunset Park around 5:52a.m., officials said.
Isaac's girlfriend, Keisha Nelson, of Fort Greene, Brooklyn, was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
Witnesses said when he got out of the car, Isaac was spinning in circles and said he didn't know who was driving.
Isaac and his 21-year-old female cousin, who was riding in the backseat with Nelson, were taken to Lutheran Medical Center in serious but stable condition, cops said. He was arrested and charged with manslaughter, vehicular manslaughter, aggravated unlicensed operation of a vehicle and driving while intoxicated. Isaac, an unemployed maintenance worker, was supposed to be home watching his 10-year-old son, according to his wife, Tennile Isaac, 29, who has been seeking a divorce.
She had warned him not to drive the Cadillac, which she was transferring ownership of to him, because it was uninsured, she said. Instead, he went to give his new girlfriend a ride, leaving their boy home alone, she said. "I was angry," said Tennile Isaac. "I didn't even know he was going out." Nelson, 32, was the mother of 9-year-old Terrell, who she left in the care of her mother, Joyce Nelson, Friday night. When Joyce Nelson, 64, awoke yesterday and realized her daughter had not come home, she frantically tried calling and texting her. A short time later cops broke the terrible news.
"This is the worst pain I've ever felt," Joyce Nelson said. "I still feel like she's going to come home.

At first I was reading this like "OK,he had an accident,killed someone,happens everyday". Then I'm reading:
"Drunk"
"Girlfriend in backseat"
"-WIFE-"
"Unemployed"
"Getting a divorce"
etc.
...and coming to the conclusion that some people's decision-making process is severely flawed.

So he left his kid at home by himself to go pick up his girlfriend at 5 in the morning AND he was drunk-why was he drunk at 5 in the morning at home babysitting? She had to know he was an alcoholic and that he would probably be drunk since he had no job and shit else to do. Seatbelts people.

And the fucked up part is that the wife would be liable since the title was in her name. Since bro-man is unemployed, the victim's family can come after her.

this is just one of the many variables that comes from enabling males like this. He had a network of females that enabled this lame ass dude... as a result he is not compelled to strive to be anything BUT a failure.

Why the innocent people always get killed in drunk driving accidents and the DRUNK DRIVER always survives? This guy needs his balls put in a jar.

How do you know she was innocent? She was sleeping with a married man, more than likely knew that child was at home alone, out at 5-6 in the morning riding around with a drunk unlicensed driver which means she was likely drunk as well.
Now before I get attacked by the masses on here... I'm not saying that because of that she deserved to die. I'm just saying that people subject themselves to circumstances; therefore, are, or should be, held accountable for the results/consequences.

Well, I didn't mean innocent in the subject of her character. I just mean she wasn't the one driving drunk. I'm in no way saying that she's not trife as hell, and I see what you're saying.

There is actually a scientific reason for this. The drunk person is less aware of their body so they dont tense up upon impact. While a more sober person isn't because they tense and brace for an impact they are more likely to have bones broken and more sever injuries.

once you willingly get into a car with a person that is drunk and driving you are just as responsible ... she couldve just as easily said "take yo drunk ass home" ... sorry!
