纽约皇后区司机被控闯停车标志撞向婴儿车 一岁男童身亡 检方称其涉毒驾且有未结酒驾案
据纽约媒体10月13日至14日报道，皇后区地方检察官办公室表示，57岁的埃尔文·里维拉被控于周日上午约8时30分驾驶一辆白色雪佛兰Silverado皮卡，在皇后区默里山32大道闯过停车标志，撞上保姆正推着的婴儿车，车内一岁男童贾斯汀·胡（音译）送医后身亡，保姆右臂受伤。
检方称，里维拉留在现场，其体内被检出可卡因与四氢大麻酚成分，且未通过现场清醒测试；他另有一宗今年4月在布朗克斯的酒驾案件尚未结案。里维拉周一出庭受审，被控过失杀人、车辆过失杀人、袭击、受药物影响驾驶、鲁莽驾驶与无照驾驶等罪名。
皇后区地方检察官梅琳达·卡茨在声明中称这起死亡“完全可以避免”，并表示其办公室将为男童及其家人追究到底。上述指控尚待法庭审理。
Queens Driver Charged After Stop-Sign Crash Kills 1-Year-Old in Stroller; Prosecutors Allege Drugged Driving
New York media reported on October 13-14 that, according to the Queens District Attorney's Office, Elvin Rivera, 57, allegedly drove a white Chevrolet Silverado pickup through a stop sign on 32nd Avenue in Murray Hill, Queens, at about 8:30 a.m. on Sunday, striking a nanny pushing a stroller. The 1-year-old boy inside, Justin Hu, was pronounced dead at a hospital, and the nanny suffered an injury to her right arm.
Prosecutors said Rivera stayed at the scene, allegedly had traces of cocaine and THC in his system and failed a field sobriety test, and had an open DWI case in the Bronx from an April incident. He was arraigned on Monday on charges including manslaughter, vehicular manslaughter, assault, driving under the influence of drugs, reckless driving and driving without a license.
Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz said in a statement that the loss was 'completely avoidable' and that her office would seek justice for the child and his family. The charges remain to be tried in court.
