A Lindenhurst woman was ordered held on bail Monday at her arraignment on charges that she was high on drugs when she hit three teenagers with her car who were walking on a street in Deer Park.
The woman was charged with driving while ability impaired by drugs and with criminal possession of a hypodermic needle. The woman was denied being released without bail by Judge Paul Hensley because of the gravity of the crime.
The victims, all friends from Deer Park High School, were struck along Grand Boulevard in Deer Park when the SUV drifted onto the shoulder area. One of the three victims was airlifted to Stony Brook University Medical Center, in serious condition. The other two victims were both transported to Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center in West Islip.
