<video:title>Review of Tuckahoe Police Response to Aug. 14 Crash Involving Former Chief's Wife</video:title>
<video:description><![CDATA[September 22, 2026

White Plains, NY -- On Aug. 17, 2026, the Tuckahoe Police Department referred the handling of its investigation into a motor vehicle accident that occurred in Tuckahoe on Aug. 14, 2026, to the Westchester County District Attorney’s Office for independent review. The accident involved Donna Costanzo, wife of retired Tuckahoe Police Chief John Costanzo. 

The primary focus of the review was to determine whether the actions and conduct of the Tuckahoe police officers who responded to the scene and investigated the incident constituted criminal conduct under the New York State Penal Law. 
A comprehensive review conducted by our Public and Law Enforcement Integrity Bureau included investigators and Assistant District Attorneys examining police body-worn camera footage and area surveillance footage; interviewing officers from the Tuckahoe Police Department and Yonkers Police Department; and interviewing civilian eyewitnesses who were present or near the scene, including the driver of an Amazon delivery truck that was struck in the Tuckahoe incident.  

Our review found that Mrs. Costanzo was allegedly operating a black Infiniti sedan in Yonkers when she struck a parked vehicle on Falmouth Road at approximately 2:53 p.m. and left the scene. Approximately 17 minutes later, she allegedly struck another vehicle in a parking lot on Central Avenue in Yonkers and left the scene. About five minutes after that, she allegedly struck an Amazon delivery truck that was legally parked near the intersection of Columbus Avenue and Main Street in Tuckahoe. 
Following the Yonkers incidents, the Yonkers Police Department notified the Tuckahoe Police Department of the alleged hit-and-runs and requested that Tuckahoe police officers be on the lookout for Mrs. Costanzo’s vehicle. 
Two Tuckahoe police officers responded to the accident scene; however, the available body-worn camera footage is limited.
