A 37-year-old man was indicted for allegedly causing a multi-vehicle crash while driving impaired.
On May 17 at approximately 3:20 p.m., Miandad Khan, 37, of Dix Hills, was operating his silver 2016 Mercedes Benz E350 northbound on Deer Park Avenue in Deer Park when he allegedly struck a white 2020 Acura near the intersection of Deer Park Avenue and Jacqueline Way and then fled. During his flight, Khan allegedly drove northbound over the center median into the southbound lanes of travel and accelerated at high speeds.
As he neared the intersection of Deer Park Avenue and Grand Boulevard, he allegedly struck a Honda SUV occupied by two teenage brothers, causing their vehicle to spin out. Khan’s vehicle continued northbound through the intersection when he allegedly crashed head on into a Toyota Rav 4 occupied by a 70-year-old couple, causing both vehicles to slam into other cars. The couple had to be extracted from their vehicle before being brought to Good Samaritan Hospital to undergo surgery for facial and spinal fractures. Additional vehicles were damaged by debris.
The brothers in the Honda SUV, as well as the driver of the 2020 Acura, were all transported to Good Samaritan Hospital where they received medical treatment.
On August 20, 2025, Khan was arraigned on the indictment before Supreme Court Justice John B. Collins with one count of Aggravated Vehicular Assault, two counts of Assault in the Second Degree, one count of Vehicular Assault in the First Degree, two counts of Vehicular Assault in the Second Degree, one count of Driving While Ability Impaired by Drugs, one count of Assault in the Third Degree, one count of Reckless Endangerment in the Second Degree, one count of Reckless Driving, one count of Leaving the Scene of an Incident Without Reporting, one count of Speeding, a traffic infraction and one count of Failure to Maintain Lane.
Collins ordered Khan to be held on $100,000 cash, $200,000 bond or $1,000,000 partially secured bond during the pendency of the case. Khan is due back in court on October 1 and faces 8 1/3 to 25 years in prison if convicted on the top count.
“One allegedly impaired driver hurt four people and caused crashes involving six vehicles. These charges reflect the severity of the defendant’s alleged actions and my office’s commitment to protecting the public from dangerous drivers,” said Suffolk County District Attorney Raymond A. Tierney. “Impaired driving will not be tolerated.”
