A Hempstead woman has been arrested for a DWI that left a man injured.
On July 24, at 5:15 pm in East Garden City, officers responded to a 911 call for an auto accident in front of 11 Davis Avenue. Upon arrival, officers were informed that a female operating a black 2014 Honda CRV struck a 2017 Nissan Sentra being operated by a 53-year-old male and fled the scene.
During the investigation, officers observed the 2014 Honda CRV, activated their emergency lights and conducted a Vehicle and Traffic Law stop in front of 665 Commercial Avenue. A subsequent investigation was conducted and Monique Williams, 35, of 25 Florence Avenue was placed under arrest without further incident.
Williams’ three-year-old daughter, who was a passenger in the vehicle, was transported to a local area hospital for a complaint of head pain and released into the custody of a family member. The 53-year-old male victim was also transported to an area hospital for minor injuries.
Further investigation revealed that Williams had also struck an unoccupied 2023 GMC Acadia parked in front of 11 Davis Avenue and left the scene.
