Queens Auto Accident Caused By Suspected DUI Driver

A suspected drunken driver injured a group of people when his speeding vehicle jumped a curb near the street intersection of Steinway Street and Northern Boulevard. According to a news report in the Daily News, 24-year-old Renis Kuci was driving a BMW near the El Noa Noa discotheque in Astoria when he hit the curb.

The Queens car accident happened when the BMW went out-of-control running down a group of people who had just stepped out of the discotheque, crashing into a FDNY call box and coming to a stop against a concrete wall. Police arrested Kuci, a Woodhaven resident, on charges of operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated, refusing to take a Breathalyzer test and reckless driving. Kuci hit a total of six people in the New York auto accident. Their injuries have been described as not life-threatening and ranging from gashes, bruises and broken bones, she said.
