NYPD Detective Paul Duncan Killed In Wrong-Way Crash; Wife Stuck In Ensuing Traffic Jam

An NYPD detective was killed on his way to work Friday in a wrong-way crash — and in a tragic twist of fate, his wife was stuck in the ensuing traffic jam as she tried to take the couple’s daughter to school.

Paul Duncan, 46, was driving south on Sprain Brook Parkway near Greenburgh, New York at about 3:50 a.m. when the crash occurred, according to NBC News. A Honda Civic headed the wrong way crashed head-on into Duncan’s SUV, sending it over a guard rail and into a snowbank. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police took Moreano’s blood sample at the hospital and will test it to determine whether alcohol was a factor in the crash.
