Timothy A. McVey was charged with failure to yield and failure to exercise due care after a sanitation truck struck Siobhan Lynch.
The New York Post spells him Timothy A. McVey. Gothamist spells him Timothy A. Mcvey, and CBS New York spells him Timothy Mcvey. All three print those two charges. None of them prints McVay, and none of them prints a felony.

Failure to yield to a pedestrian, and failure to exercise due care, are the counts police gave those outlets. A desk appearance ticket at the 42nd Precinct, on the Post, and an arrest Wednesday morning with no precinct, on CBS New York, are not the same paperwork line. No page read here printed a court date. Siobhan Lynch, 30, is the woman who was killed.
The New York Post, by Kevin Sheehan and Amanda Woods, published Nov. 5, 2026, at 6:23 p.m. ET, reported Timothy A. McVey, 41, was charged with failure to yield to a pedestrian and failure to exercise due care in the Oct. 28 evening crash in Bath Beach that killed Siobhan Lynch, 30. Gothamist, by Brittany Kriegstein, published Nov. 5, 2026, with no clock, and with that date printed twice, reported Timothy A. Mcvey, 41, was charged with failure to yield to a pedestrian and failure to exercise due care, and that the NYPD said so. CBS New York, by Katie Houlis, updated November 4, 2026, at 11:36 p.m. EST, with no separate published clock, identified the driver as 41-year-old Timothy Mcvey, of Staten Island, and reported he was charged with failure to yield to a pedestrian and failure to exercise due care. Timothy A. McVey, Timothy A. Mcvey, and Timothy Mcvey are not the same spelling. McVey, and Mcvey, are the capital V and the lowercase v. None of these pages prints McVay. The middle initial A. is on the Post and on Gothamist. It is not on CBS New York. Staten Island is on CBS New York and in Gothamist's "Staten Island man." The Post's paragraphs read here do not print a home borough. Failure to yield to a pedestrian, and failure to exercise due care, are the charge words on all three. The Post does not print a felony. Gothamist does not print a felony. CBS New York does not print a felony.
The crash is not one clock and not one map. CBS New York says it happened just after 6:30 p.m. on Oct. 28 in Bath Beach, that Lynch was crossing Bay Parkway, and that the driver turned from Cropsey Avenue onto Bay Parkway. Gothamist says she was crossing the parkway at Cropsey Avenue around 6:35 p.m. on Oct. 28, and that the garbage truck, heading east, turned right onto the parkway. The parkway, on Gothamist, is not named Bay Parkway, and Bath Beach is not in that story. Just after 6:30 p.m., and around 6:35 p.m., are not the same clock. The Post says he was attempting to make a right turn onto Bay Parkway when he crashed into her at Bay Parkway and Cropsey Avenue. A photo caption on the Post says police investigated the scene at Cropsey Ave. and Bay Parkway. A second caption says the truck sat parked on Shore Parkway and Bay Parkway in the aftermath. Shore Parkway, and Bay Parkway, are not the same road, and the second caption is where the truck sat afterward. The Post's body says Oct. 28 evening and does not print 6:30 or 6:35. What happened to her is not one hospital line. The Post says the impact threw her onto the pavement, she suffered severe trauma to her body, and she was rushed to NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn, where she succumbed to her injuries. CBS New York says she was thrown to the ground, suffered severe injuries, and was taken to a local hospital, where she was pronounced dead. The hospital is not named. Gothamist says emergency services took her to NYU Langone Hospital, where she was pronounced dead. NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn, NYU Langone Hospital, and a local hospital are not the same name. Succumbed to her injuries, and pronounced dead, are not the same verb.
How he was charged is not one form. The Post says he initially stayed on scene and did not immediately face charges, and that on Wednesday he was issued a desk appearance ticket at the 42nd Precinct station, requiring him to appear in court at a later date. The page does not print that date. A caption on the same story says "has now has been issued" a desk appearance ticket. Has now has is the caption. CBS New York says he remained on the scene and, following an investigation, was arrested Wednesday morning. It does not print a desk appearance ticket or a precinct. Gothamist says he was arrested Wednesday and stayed at the scene. It does not print a morning hour, a ticket, or a precinct. Wednesday, on CBS New York's Nov. 4 story, is Nov. 4. Wednesday, on the Post's Nov. 5 story and on Gothamist's Nov. 5 story, is the same day. Arrested Wednesday morning, and issued a desk appearance ticket at the 42nd Precinct, are not the same sentence. Lynch's sister, Shannon, 30, told the Post she was "sure he didn't mean to kill my sister," and that she still expected more serious charges. The Post prints "Lynch sister, Shannon," with no apostrophe. She also said, "The desk appearance ticket? It is very shocking the way this is being handled." Sure he did not mean to, and a charge of failure to yield, are not the same finding. Gothamist says information on his attorney was not immediately available. CBS New York does not print a lawyer. Gothamist quotes Department of Sanitation spokesperson Joshua Goodman, in an email last week, that it was a terrible tragedy. The Post quotes a later Department of Sanitation statement that, given the ongoing case, it could not say more than to reiterate that prior statement, and that it will assist the NYPD. An email last week, and a statement after the charges, are not the same comment. A charge is not a conviction. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

WJLA says Judge Neal Kravitz found Jaime Macedo guilty of voluntary manslaughter while armed. NBC4 says he pleaded guilty to manslaughter.
Voluntary manslaughter while armed, and voluntary manslaughter, and manslaughter, are not the same count. A bench outside Father O'Connell Hall, and a park on the campus, and a small plaza by that hall, and the 600 block of Alumni Lane, are not the same place. Brookland-CUA Metro, and Brookland Metro, and Brookland-Catholic University Metro, are not the same station line. Snapchat messages, and a message, and an urgent message, are not the same account. Cash App, and cash app, and $300 with no app named, are not the same line. Judge Kravitz accepted the plea and found Jaime Macedo guilty of voluntary manslaughter while armed. A 12-to-15-year range is not the sentence. Sentencing has not happened.
