Woman Charged With DWI In Crash That Injured 5: Nassau Police

NEW HYDE PARK, NY — A Floral Park woman faces a DWI charge after she was involved in a crash that injured five people — herself included — in New Hyde Park on Tuesday night, Nassau police said.

Dilmeet Kaur, 21, was driving a 2019 BMW X3 northbound on Lakeville Road when she collided with a 2004 Nissan SUV being driven by a 34-year-old woman southbound on Lakeville Road around 11 p.m. Tuesday, police said.

The Nissan SUV had two women trapped inside, and Nassau officers began to help all involved in the crash, police said. Nassau police medics and firefighters from New Hyde Park and Manhasset freed the women from the Nissan and brought them to local hospitals, police said.

The driver was treated for a broken hand and injuries to her arm, police said. The passenger was treated for a lower left leg compound fracture and a fractured femur in her right leg, police said.

All three BMW occupants were also taken to nearby hospitals for treatment of minor injuries, police said.

Kaur was arrested and charged with second-degree vehicular assault, second-degree assault, third-degree assault, and driving while intoxicated.

Her arraignment was held Wednesday at First District Court, 99 Main St., Hempstead.
