Woodmere, NY (May 28, 2026) — A Cedarhurst man has been arrested in connection with a fatal Woodmere crash that left Moshe Kreindler A”H critically injured before he later succumbed to his injuries.

The crash occurred on Thursday, March 19, at approximately 7:53 a.m. near University Street and Branch Boulevard. According to investigators, Moshe, 39, was driving on University Street when the vehicle was involved in a collision with a 2019 Honda Accord operated by 24-year-old Brayan Romero Flores.

Both drivers were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment and evaluation following the crash, which ultimately led to the tragic passing of Moshe R”L.

Police have now charged Romero Flores, of Cedarhurst, in connection with the fatal collision. He is facing charges of second-degree manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide, second-degree assault, and reckless driving. He was scheduled to be arraigned on Thursday, May 28, at First District Court in Hempstead.

The case is being handled by the Nassau County Police Department’s Homicide Squad, which investigates serious and fatal crashes. Authorities have not released further details about the circumstances leading up to the collision.

Kreindler’s death deeply impacted many in the Five Towns and surrounding communities. His passing prompted an outpouring of heartbreak following the March crash, as the community rallied around his family during the difficult weeks after the accident.

The arrest marks a significant development in the case more than two months after the collision. Although nothing can replace the life that was lost, the arrest may offer a small measure of nechama to Moshe Kreindler’s family, friends, and the wider community still grieving his petirah.

May Moshe’s neshama have an Aliyah.
