Police have arrested a New Jersey box truck driver accused of mowing down a 29-year-old Queens man a block away from his home nearly seven months ago, police said Thursday.

Detectives from the NYPD’s Collision Investigation Squad charged Fritz Dupresil with failure to yield to a pedestrian and failure to exercise due care — both misdemeanors — for ramming into Kevin Thoral on Jan. 25.

Thoral was crossing Hillside Ave. heading south in Queens Village around 6:20 a.m. when Dupresil, driving a 2018 white Freightliner box truck, made a left-hand turn onto Hillside Ave. from 212th St. and slammed into him.

Responding officers found Thoral sprawled on the street with injuries throughout his body. He was a block away from his Queens home, cops said.

Medics rushed him to NewYork-Presbyt
