Abraham Moskovits, 36, was killed by a teenager in his home’s driveway. But the New York State Police say it is not a criminal case, and the teen would not be charged. At around 9. p.m. on Tuesday, a 13-year-old was behind the wheels of a minivan when the tragedy occurred. In the Kiryas Joel, in Monroe, the ineligible driver made a rapid acceleration with a 2024 Honda Odyssey. Allegedly, the teen attempted to back the minivan into a spot. But he somehow missed it by ramming into a driveway, leading to a fatality.

PEOPLE affirmed that at first the victim was hurriedly rescued from underneath the vehicle. Then he was taken to Rockland County’s Good Samaritan Hospital in New York. But the medics were unsuccessful in keeping him alive. Neighbors who witnessed the scenery claimed that it was a painful experience. Moskovits was a father of nine and it is uncertain who the teen was to him.
Amid Moskovits’ tragic and unplanned ending the perpetrator is without any charges. The authorities are protecting the young man. Due to the teenager’s age, no further personal details have been revealed about him. In the meantime, ongoing investigation suggests that there was no foul play nor was it a premeditated crime. According to an officer, Trooper Jennifer Alvarez, it is not a criminal case, nor will the police pursue it further.
Questions have been raised as to whether the teen will suffer charges based on traffic violations. But the police doubled down on their stance to let the matter lay low without further investigation.
While there may not be any consequences based on details unavailable to the public, there are laws against underage driving. In New York where this unsavory incident occurred, the eligible age for driving is 16. It doesn’t matter whether the child is an expert or has been given a license from a different state. He or she has to wait until the eligible age.
