A suspected drunk driver died following a crash outside a Hudson Yards skyscraper Friday night, according to police.
Hernan Rivera, 27, was heading east down W. 30th St. near 11th Ave. about 10 p.m. Friday when he lost control of his white 2020 Chevrolet Malibu and rammed into a concrete barrier head-on, cops said.
Arriving officers found Rivera suffering from multiple injuries. He also appeared to be drunk behind the wheel.
EMS rushed him to Bellevue Hospital, where he died of his injuries.
Rivera lived in Harlem, about seven miles from where he crashed, cops said. He was in custody for impaired driving when he died, an NYPD spokeswoman said.
He crashed in front of 606 W. 30th St, one of the tallest buildings currently under construction in New York. The 42-story building is expected to be completed sometime this year.
