NYC: Muslim cabbie admits road rage led to crash that severed woman’s legs | Creeping Sharia
http://creepingsharia.wordpress.com/2013/08/23/nyc-muslim-cabbie-admits-road-rage-led-to-crash-that-severed-womans-legs/
The road-rage cabby who jumped a Midtown curb and crushed a young British tourist admitted yesterday he’s a lousy driver who has no business behind the wheel.
“I don’t want to drive a taxi,” Mohammed Faysal Himon, 24, told The Post in an exclusive interview from a relative’s home in The Bronx.
Himon — who was not authorized to drive the cab that slammed into Sian Green, 23, likely costing her both legs — copped to a previous laundry list of moving violations, including an accident that injured a passenger in 2010.
“I need a more suitable job. There’s too much stress when you’re driving in the city,” Himon said.

Himon, a native of Bangladesh who has been in the United States for nearly five years, admitted he flew into a fit of road rage when he and bike messenger Kenneth Olivo crossed paths.
“He was in my way and I got upset, so I gave him notice that I wanted to pass through,” he said, meaning he leaned on his horn.
“He started pounding on my car with his hands and was yelling things at me. I suddenly felt like I had to get out of there. It was becoming a bad situation. So I accelerated to get in front of him.”
At that point, Himon went on, “everything becomes cloudy” as he crashed into Green, who was munching a hot dog with her best pal, Keshia Warren, at the northwest corner of Sixth Avenue and 49th Street, near Radio City Music Hall.
“I don’t know how, but I just lost control of the car,” Himon said. “I was in shock.When I crashed, I didn’t even see the lady.

A Utah woman who was taking her grandson on vacation died in a taxi crash after wrapping her body around the 11-year-old to protect him during the fatal collision on a rain-drenched New York City highway.
The impact killed Suzanne Nicholson of Ogden, Utah, and her 46-year-old cab driver Mohamed Hussain in the early hours of Saturday morning on the Long Island Expressway.
The taxi was taking the tourists from Kennedy Airport to Manhattan around 12.30am. Police said the cab was near 66th Street in Queens when it hit the back of a 1995 Porsche.

cab fell onto its side and swerved from the left lane into the right lane, according to authorities, and came to a halt as a privately-owned garbage truck came along.
The truck could not stop in time and slammed into the cab. The driver was witnessed crying and shaking after the collision. No charges have been pressed against him.

    Two very common problems brought to light... The crazy cabbies who think their fare trumps everyone elses right to be out in public, including sidewalks, not all cab drivers, just the ones with no rage control, and psychotic bike riders who think they can do anything they want. Not all bicyclists, just those like this idiot, who like to pretend it's a war between them and the cars. Now we have a beautiful young woman who has to get used to life without her foot. The politics of the bike issue and the fact that the cabbie is Muslim will prevent any meaningful action. Who's proud to be a New yorker today, hmmm?

    The bike messenger that was part of the accident has an even longer and more violent rap sheet than the cab driver...

    It turns out that the culprit behind this wasn't the cabbie, but the piece of shi'ite of a cyclist. The piece of shi'ite jumped on the cab and started pounding the windows. That would freak anybody out.

    As your competitor mentions, the piece of shi'ite of a cyclist has a rap sheet as long as his multi-tattooed arm with 22 arrests.

    Of course, the male sexual organs who frequently post here are blaming the cabbie, primarily because he's Muslim.

  • The bike messenger involved in the road-rage crash that maimed an English tourist has a long rap sheet that includes 22 arrests — including a recent bust for threatening to decapitate a man and kill his family, The Post has learned. “You don’t know who you are messing with! I will stab you! I will decapitate you! I will kill you and your family!” Kenneth Olivo, 40, allegedly snarled in a McDonald’s at 545 Sixth Ave. on April 28. “You don’t know what I have up my arm,” he said, pointing to his sleeve and implying that he had a knife to threaten a man who had objected when Olivo kicked a dog, according to authorities.

  1. Oh wow, I can't believe this. First of all, I hope that the British woman is okay. To be the victim of something you weren't even involved in and losing a leg over it would be traumatic. Second of all, I hope that the cab driver is charged accordingly and never gets behind the wheel again. Speaking as a personal injury lawyer, I would have no tolerance for something like this.
