Yesterday afternoon around 2:45PM, a drunk driver hit three pedestrians in Forest Hills, Queens. The victims included a 3-year-old girl, her 57-year-old grandmother, and her 85-year-old great-grandmother, who were all walking at the intersection of Yellowstone Boulevard and Gerard Place in Forest Hills.
The driver fled the scene, but witnesses called the police with the license plate number. The police arrested the suspect, Susan Karnabe, 54, of Rego Park; she was charged with DWI, vehicular assault, reckless endangerment, and leaving the scene of an accident.
The 3-year-old was critically injured, while her grandmother and great-grandmother are in stable condition.
