The incident occurred in a parking lot near Kennedy Park at the intersection of Old Nyack Turnpike and Zachary Court. Goldy was walking with family and others when a vehicle suddenly plowed into the group. She was pronounced dead shortly after. Three others were injured, one critically.
The driver was reportedly intoxicated, and police say charges are expected pending the outcome of their investigation.
State Senator Bill Weber shared a message of condolence:
“My heart breaks for Trustee Eisenbach and his wife on the tragic loss of their 4-year-old daughter, Goldy, who was killed by a drunk driver. Drunk driving is a plague on our society and must be confronted—but today, we mourn. 💔”

A drunken driver murdering someone Must be charged with 1st Degree Murder:- Enough of this ludicrous Manslaughter charges; & of-course banned for life from ever being allowed to drive again, nor own nor rent a car, and should be on an international list of banned drivers, sent to police in every country of the world.
Ya ya another precious life snuffed out by the ridiculous lineat NY state laws.
Enough! Can one day go by without yidden dying in car crashes, especially young neshamos, 9 month baby, 4 yr old and three 16 yr olds. And of course a mother with her 2 little daughters.
Time to ban alcohol for non-jews
Time for community and elected officials to solve this both economically and politically by passing a law allowing victims of drunk driving to sue alcohol makers like anheuser or diageo directly for their injuries. Alcohol is too readily available and deadly for them to escape unscathed.
