Ex-NYPD officer Stanley Cadet, 27, of North Babylon, was off-duty and allegedly driving at more than 100 mph alongside Kayla Lopez, 28, of Bay Shore, at 2:20 a.m. on May 11, 2024. The two drivers ran a red light and drove side-by-side for half a mile on Union Boulevard in West Islip - a single-lane road - when their cars collided, according to a release from New York Attorney General Letitia James' office.
The 25-year-old pled guilty in July to two third-degree felony charges of collision involving serious bodily injury and racing on a highway causing bodily injury. He was sentenced to 30 days in jail and was required to pay $115,000 in medical costs to the injured parties. The incident took place on a Dallas highway in March 2024. Prosecutors say Rice was driving a Lamborghini Urus SUV at 119 mph when he made multiple aggressive maneuvers around traffic and struck other vehicles.
Here, in this particular incident, we lost four young people with a complete life ahead of them for really no reason other than complete and reckless disregard for the life of others.
