Fatal Rockland County DWI crash death of Goldy Eisenbach – Obituary

Goldy Eisenbach, a 4-year-old girl from Spring Valley, tragically lost her life after being struck by a suspected drunk driver on Saturday evening.

The incident occurred just before 9:30 p.m. on Old Nyack Turnpike near Zachary Court in Rockland County, New York.

Goldy was walking on the sidewalk with two other children, ages 5 and 2, and a 31-year-old man as they left a nearby park when a vehicle driven by 41-year-old Axel Lopez-Santiago hit them. The driver’s vehicle became disabled, and he was trapped inside following the crash.

All four victims were rushed to local hospitals. Goldy succumbed to her injuries a few hours after the collision. The 31-year-old man sustained life-threatening wounds, the 5-year-old boy was seriously injured, and the condition of the 2-year-old boy has not been disclosed.

Authorities suspect that Lopez-Santiago was under the influence of alcohol at the time of the crash. He was arrested and now faces several charges, including driving while intoxicated and aggravated vehicular homicide, as he has a prior DWI conviction. He was arraigned on Sunday and is being held on $750,000 cash bail.

The community mourns the loss of young Goldy Eisenbach, daughter of Spring Valley Village Trustee Yisroel Eisenbach. The investigation remains ongoing.
