Ray Perez, 27, drove his dying girlfriend for 4 miles after crashing into three cars Thursday, according to police and reports.
QUEENS, NY — A drunken, unlicensed motorist drove from a Queens crash for four miles with his dying girlfriend in the passenger seat, according to police and reports.
Cops arrested Ray Perez, 27, hours after the early Thursday hit-and-run on a slew of charges, including vehicular manslaughter, NYPD officials said.
He’s accused of killing Bridget Enriquez, 29, a Brooklyn woman found in critical condition in his Nissan Altima about 4:25 a.m. that day, police said.
Investigators believe Perez got into a three-car crash about 4:10 a.m. at 47th Street and 28th Avenue in Astoria, authorities said.
Perez first collided with a pickup truck at the intersection and then struck into two parked cars as he sped off, police said. The pickup truck’s driver, a 34-year-old man, didn’t suffer injuries, authorities said.
Crash investigators believe Perez drove 4 miles to 56th Drive and 61st Street in Maspeth with Enriquez in his passenger seat, officials said.
Officers found Enriquez unconscious and unresponsive in Perez’s car, and medics rushed her in critical condition to Elmhurst hospital, where doctors later pronounced her dead, police said.
Police arrested Perez about 12:25 p.m. that day on charges of vehicular manslaughter, leaving the scene of a crash, being an aggravated unlicensed driver, driving without a license and driving while intoxicated, authorities said.
