Cops nab NYC wrong-way driver accused of killing groom hours before wedding

The teen wrong-way driver accused of killing a groom the day before his wedding in a horror hit-run in Harlem was nabbed by cops on Friday.

Jimmy Connors, 17, was allegedly barreling down the wrong side of the Henry Hudson Parkway in Upper Manhattan around 2:20 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 24 when he crashed his white pick-up truck into a car carrying Kirk Walker and his cousin, Rob McLaurin, killing both men.

Connors, of Long Island, was charged with vehicular manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide and leaving the scene of an accident, according to police.

Walker, a 38-year-old dad of three from Manhattan, had been set to marry fiancée Shauntea Weaver, 40, in a lavish ceremony in New Jersey.
