"According to police sources, the incident took place on Martense Avenue and 102nd Street in Corona at around 8:05 p.m. on Sept. 14. Police sources reported that the driver, a 40-year-old man, was behind the wheel of a 2013 white Honda sedan when he struck a 13-year-old girl and a 72-year-old man as they crossed the street. The driver then lost control of the vehicle and plowed into a nearby building, law enforcement sources reported."
"EMS rushed the 72-year-old man to NewYork-Presbyterian Queens hospital, while the teenager was taken to Northwell Long Island Jewish Medical Center. Both were listed in stable condition. Meanwhile, the driver identified by police as Luis Saula Quindi of Long Island City was apprehended by cops at the scene. Sources familiar with the case said Quindi appeared to be highly intoxicated, and had allegedly been driving without a license."
"Saula Quindi was charged with aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, reckless endangerment, DWI, aggravated DWI, and driving while ability impaired. This is the second incident involving a drunk driver in Queens in as many days. On Saturday, 38-year-old Edwin Cruz Gomez is accused of intentionally mowing into a 16-year-old girl in a drunk-fueled rage on Roosevelt Avenue and Benham Street after he had allegedly sexually harassed her. The teen was pronounced dead at the scene."
