Street in Sunset Park, shortly before 1 a.m. Saturday, the NYPD said.<\/p>\n<p>The deadly episode unfolded when Thapa stopped his Toyota Camry behind a Nissan Sentra that had become disabled in the right lane, authorities said.<\/p>\n<p>A third motorist, behind the wheel of a Toyota Venza SUV, then clipped Thapa\u2019s Camry, an NYPD spokesman said.<\/p>\n<p>The driver of the Venza then pulled over, got out of his SUV and then began surveying the damage with Thapa, who was also out of his vehicle, police said.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s when tragedy struck and a BMW slammed into Thapa, pinning him against his own car, police said. <\/p>\n<div class=\"inline-slideshow\" data-component=\"inlineSlideshow\">\n<div class=\"inline-slideshow__wrapper\">\n<div
