Dad was vic in UWS shooting

An Uber driver was sent hurtling into a Harlem building Thursday after he and his passenger unwittingly ended up in the middle of a hit-and-run, officials said.

Uber driver Moussa Sandwidi was rolling down Manhattan Ave. near W. 115th St., about 12:30 p.m. when his black sedan was struck by a speeding maroon Hyundai with Connecticut license plates. The

Hyundai was being chased by a Honda Odyssey, witnesses said.

After being hit, Sandwidi lost control of his vehicle, which vaulted the curb and hit a nearby building.

“He hit him with such force that it jammed him between the Jeep and the wall,” witness Omar Robinson said. “Thank God he had the building to stop him.

“What if someone was standing on the corner there?” Robinson asked. “They would have gotten slammed.”

A few minutes earlier, witnesses saw the Hyundai blow through a red light at Frederick Douglass Blvd. and W. 116th St. and hit the Odyssey, which was driven by a state corrections officer.

“I don’t know what happened, but these people run into each other and they was coming really fast, and the next thing I know in the intersection, he hit me and pushed me over there,” Sandwidi told the Daily News.

Sandwidi was treated for minor cuts and bruises at the scene. His passenger was taken to an area hospital for treatment as were the corrections officer and his wife.

A father shot dead in an Upper West Side playground was a well-liked supermarket and construction worker.

Apolonia Rivera, 58, was shot in the chest during an argument early Saturday in the Frederick Douglass Playground on W. 101st St. at Amsterdam Ave. He was rushed to Mount Sinai Morningside but couldn’t be saved.

Rivera used to live around the corner from the park with his wife and daughter but moved to New Jersey about four years ago, friends said.

The NYPD on Wednesday released photos of three people wanted for questioning in his slaying. There have been no arrests.

“He worked two jobs. He also worked in construction in the morning and worked here in the afternoon,” said Carlos Colon, who worked with Rivera in the fish section of a nearby Whole Foods until Rivera moved to New Jersey.

Rivera’s daughter declined to comment when reached by phone by the Daily News.
