In the meantime, @AlbortEinstone on Twitter has shown his rant against careless drivers.

He has tweeted: 'I'm surprised there aren't more accidents like the one in Inwood. People drive like maniacs & are forced to go in the wrong lane because of double/triple parked cars. I saw an NYPD tow truck drive past a line of them yesterday in Inwood. They should all be towed/ticketed.'

Rapper and songwriter Cardi B also honored her two friends on social media. She wrote: 'Stupidness, negligence, I hope the worst to who committed this!" The rapper also said. 'Took someone sooo loved, full of life and just all around amazing, leaving people to destroy. RIP JOEL.'
