Quinones was charged at the time, in part, for leaving the scene of an accident.

Police reopened their investigation when they learned about the dash cam video, posted on social media.

It was initially posted by Quinones on his Instagram page.

"We are committed to tracking down people who commit this type of reckless behavior and prosecuting them. In doing so, we hope to deter others from doing the same," Port Authority Police Chief Detective Matthew Wilson said.
