78-year-old Yolanda Casal was killed yesterday by an SUV speeding in reverse to get a parking spot.

The accident took play at around 5 pm on Thursday near the intersection of Amsterdam & West 98th, a block from Casal’s home.

The Daily News and Gothamist have the details, but suffice it to say it’s a sad story that was entirely avoidable.
