NEW YORK - A Pennsylvania woman is facing murder and manslaughter charges in what police sources have described as a ‘road rage’ incident that killed a Bronx scooter rider.

Police officers from the 41^st Precinct were called to the accident scene at 871 Intervale Avenue at Fox Street, at 2:22 p.m. on Saturday, November 25.

A police source told the Bronx Voice at the time, “A preliminary investigation determined that a 28-year-old female operating a Honda Civic was traveling southbound on Fox Street when it struck a 23-year-old male operating a moped traveling in the same direction.”

The official stated that the victim suffered “trauma to the body” and was rushed to Lincoln Hospital where he was pronounced deceased. The victim was then identified by the NYPD as Robert Jimenez, 23, of Gerard Avenue.

Police officials also reported that a 23-year-old woman was taken into custody. 

The following day police charged Lilibeth Vasquez, 28, of Allentown, Pennsylvania with murder and manslaughter.
