The driver, Cruz Correa, 28 years old from Glen Cove, was driving a 1991 Lexus when he hit the teacher. He also hit and seriously injured a couple that was com- ing toward him in the southbound lane in Volkswagen. Law enforcement officials said they believe the Correa’s ability to drive at the time was impaired. Correa was arrested and charged with reckless driving. Police said he will be arraigned after he recovers from his injuries. Speaking with Chief Michael Ric- cardo of Glenwood Fire Company, he said the call on “pedestrian struck” came into his department shortly after it oc- curred. He said Glenwood responded with an ambulance, he requested am- bulances from Sea Cliff a from Nassau County. He also radioed Roslyn Rescue Fire Department for their EMS Unit for assistance. The horrible accident started with the 1991 Lexus (inset- top left) hitting a teacher who was walking on Glen Cove Avenue.
