A suspected drunk driver died in a crash near the Hudson Yards skyscraper Friday night, police said.

Hernan Rivera, 27, was heading east on West 30th Street near 11th Avenue around 10 p.m. Friday when he lost control of his white 2020 Chevrolet Malibu and crashed into a concrete barrier, police said.

Arriving officers found Rivera with multiple injuries. He also turned out to be drunk driving.
