JERICHO, N.Y. (1010 WINS/WCBS 880) -- A drunk, wrong-way driver killed two boys and injured four more people in a Long Island crash Wednesday night, Nassau County police said.
The horrific, three-vehicle crash happened around 10:20 p.m. on North Broadway in Jericho, near the Jericho Commons mall and just north of the Long Island Expressway.
Amandeep Singh, 34, was allegedly intoxicated and driving a 2019 Dodge Ram southbound in the northbound lanes of North Broadway when he collided with a 2019 Alfa Romeo sedan occupied by four teenage boys.
Two of the boys, both 14 years old, suffered fatal injuries and were pronounced dead at the scene.
Two other boys, ages 16 and 17, suffered internal injuries and were rushed to a hospital, where they were in stable condition Thursday.
After crashing into the Alfa Romeo, Singh struck a 2023 Volvo SUV driven by a 49-year-old woman with one passenger, a 16-year-old boy, police said.
Both Volvo occupants suffered minor injuries and were treated at the scene.
Singh, of Roslyn, was arrested and transported to a local hospital with minor injuries.
He faces a long list of charges, including aggravated vehicular homicide, first-degree vehicular manslaughter, second-degree manslaughter, leaving the scene of an auto accident with a fatality, DWI, and two counts of second-degree assault.
He was scheduled to be arraigned Thursday in First District Court in Hempstead.
