A man named Michael Moreno, who resides in Dutchess County, has recently faced charges for driving under the influence of alcohol, impaired driving, and refusing to take a breathalyzer test.
Upon receiving several 911 calls about a crash at the intersection of 47th Street and Queens Boulevard, the police rushed to the scene. To their dismay, they found a 14-year-old girl who had suffered head injuries as a result of the collision.
A total of eight individuals, including the 14-year-old, were taken to nearby medical facilities for treatment of injuries that were determined to be not life-threatening in nature.
In 2015, Moreno was taken into custody for his involvement in the case.
