A Floral Park, New York, resident, Dilmeet Kaur, a 21-year-old Indian-American woman, is facing a DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) charge following a collision in New Hyde Park on Tuesday night.
According to Nassau police, Kaur was driving a 2019 BMW X3 northbound on Lakeville Road when her vehicle collided with a southbound 2004 Nissan SUV driven by a 34-year-old woman at approximately 11 p.m.
As a result of the crash, five people, including Kaur herself, sustained injuries. Two women were trapped inside the Nissan SUV, and Nassau officers, along with medics and firefighters from New Hyde Park and Manhasset, worked to free them from the vehicle and transported them to local hospitals.
The driver of the Nissan suffered a broken hand and injuries to her arm, while the passenger sustained a compound fracture in her lower left leg and a fractured femur in her right leg. The three occupants of the BMW were also taken to nearby hospitals for treatment of minor injuries.
Kaur was subsequently arrested and charged with second-degree vehicular assault, second-degree assault, third-degree assault, and driving while intoxicated. Her arraignment took place on Wednesday at First District Court in Hempstead, located at 99 Main St.
