Flushing woman and Bronx accomplice indicted in deadly U-Haul hit-and-run and identity theft scheme: DA - QNS
Briefly

A woman from Flushing and her friend from the Bronx have been indicted for the hit-and-run death of David Opiela in Queens. Jamie Ferreira, the driver of a rented U-Haul truck, allegedly struck Opiela while speeding and then fled the scene. Her passenger, Jennifer Sablan, also exited the vehicle after the fatal crash. The police investigation uncovered numerous illegal items in the truck, leading to a multi-count indictment for both women, including serious charges like manslaughter and burglary.
As alleged, a 56-year-old pedestrian was senselessly killed when he was struck by a speeding box truck operated by Jamie Ferreira. This incident illustrates the reckless endangerment present in hit-and-run occurrences, as the driver fled the scene rather than accepting responsibility for the tragic event.
The investigation revealed not only the fatal incident but also a series of other illicit activities linked to the individuals involved, highlighting ongoing issues of theft and forgery that plague our communities.
