Probation, not prison, for Queens' driver who hit, killed child

A Brooklyn girl, on summer vacation with her grandparents, was struck by a car as she ran toward the sound of a Queens' ice cream truck. The 6-year-old suffered severe injuries and died less than a week after the accident.

Court papers say the accused driver's Mitsubishi Montero struck the child as she darted out onto 104th Avenue in Jamaica, Queens. The driver claimed he did not see the child run into the street. Speeding was not a factor in the accident, but alcohol use was.

Driver who killed Port Chester student gets interim probation

A Nazareth College student from Port Chester died from serious injuries she received in a car accident near Rochester last winter. The driver of the vehicle, a 21-year-old fellow student, pleaded guilty to vehicular manslaughter charges and was sentenced recently to interim probation.

The fatal car crash in Pittsford happened one year ago this month. Police reports say the driver's car slid out of control on snow-packed French Road and struck another vehicle. The Westchester County accident victim, one of three passengers, sustained severe injuries to her head and died two weeks after the accident. Another passenger, a 40-year-old Fairport woman, also was hospitalized with serious injuries, but survived the ordeal.
