A Long Island man is facing multiple charges after a woman was struck and killed while crossing the road Friday night, June 6, authorities said.

The crash happened around 10:30 p.m. on Friday, June 6, 2025, near 430 Lakeville Road in Lake Success, according to the Nassau County police.

Police say the 61-year-old woman was trying to cross the street when she was hit by a 2024 Chevrolet Silverado traveling south, operated by Rajvir Singh Bharaj, of North New Hyde Park.

The pedestrian was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital, where a doctor pronounced her dead.

Detectives say the driver, Bharaj, 32, was found near the scene. A “thorough investigation determined that the driver was intoxicated,” police said.

Bharaj was arrested and charged with:

  • Vehicular Manslaughter in the 2nd Degree
  • Leaving the Scene of an Incident
  • Driving While Intoxicated

He will be arraigned at First District Court, 99 Main Street in Hempstead, authorities said. The investigation is ongoing.
