A 66-year-old man driving a Nissan Maxima was fatally hit by a drunk driver on Woodhaven Boulevard, between 101st Avenue and 97th Avenue in Ozone Park. Twenty-five-year-old Christopher Rivera, driving a Honda Accord, crossed the road's median around 10:45PM and slammed into the Maxima driving in the opposite direction. The Maxima then hit a third car, a BMW.
The Maxima's driver was pronounced dead at the scene, his passenger was injured, as well as Rivera and his passenger and the two occupants of the BMW, all with non-life-threatening injuries.
Rivera, who lives 2 miles from the crash scene, was charged with DWI, vehicular manslaughter, and manslaughter. His uncle told the Daily News, "He must have been going really fast. He's a bit of a handful, but a good kid who made a bad, bad, bad mistake."

so many drunks come from queens. crappy boro, no wonder they drink that much there.
"A good kid who made a bad, bad, bad mistake." I'd say that Christopher Rivera is, in fact, a bad kid who just committed murder.
Hey armchair, could you be MORE of an ignorant tool?!?
I wish drunk driver's would only kill themselves, but it never worls out that way.
This and marijuana's illegal. That makes sense. not.
What is it with these hit and runs drivers, who are invariably of Latino descent? And I might add, they're not usually illegal immigrants...?!
Spitzer's plan of handing out driver's licenses to these testosterone-driven "individuals" with their penchant for souped up 1990 Accords, is like handing out gun licenses to...
Testosterone-driven? I thought Asian women were the worst drivers.
Why can't drunk drivers ever kill themselves?
nope just like to bash queens and other boro every chance i get lol.
This and marijuana's illegal. That makes sense. not.
Great idea. Make marijuana legal so we can have doped up knuckleheads and drunks driving cars. Yeah I feel safer already.
Armchair, nah, on further review, you truly are , just a tool.
