Jewish NYC Man Demands Justice for Wife Killed in Hit-and-Run by Alleged Antisemitic Vandal | National Review

Michael Trager says his 71-year-old wife, Cara, died after a hit-and-run on Union Turnpike in Queens, New York, on Memorial Day. Trager told National Review that doctors later declared her dead days afterward, but he believes she died at the scene. He says the driver, Dawood Faisal, was already doing doughnuts near Francis Lewis Boulevard, then accelerated to about 75 mph, ran a red light, and his 2013 Toyota Prius collided with multiple vehicles. Trager describes Faisal as attacking bystanders after trying to flee. Prosecutors have described the case as manslaughter and assault. The report also cites alleged antisemitic vandalism tied to a Jewish-owned bagel shop in the area, with Faisal arrested by the NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force on July 31 and next court date set for September 8.
