A young Brooklyn woman is in critical condition after being slammed into by a van driven by a drunk driver while she was walking out of work Thursday night. 22-year-old Ukranian immigrant Olga Skibina suffered severe brain, facial and lung injuries after being struck by the van while walking from the medical office she works as a receptionist at in Sheepshead Bay, walking along Avenue Z to her home in Gerritsen Beach.
Police have arrested 45-year-old Zachary Kitt of Coney Island, who they say blew a .25 at the scene of the accident. Kitt is being charged with vehicular assault, drunken driving and reckless driving. The News says that Kitt's record shows convictions for drugs and driving without a license. They talk to Skibina's stepfather who says, "It's just impossible — how people can drive like that?"
