Two charged suspects were driving the same car in Bay Ridge crash
A 34-year-old man and a 39-year-old woman from Staten Island were both arrested on drunk driving charges early New Year’s Day after the man plowed into four pedestrians on a Bay Ridge street and the woman jumped behind the wheel of the car and hit parked vehicles, police said.
The male suspect, Charles Amado, also sideswiped six parked cars in the accident, which took place on 93rd Street between Third and Fourth avenues on Jan. 1, police said. The female suspect, Andrea Jobity, sideswiped two cars during her time behind in the driver’s seat, according to police, who said a total of eight vehicles were struck by the pair.
The incident began when Amado, behind the wheel of a 2012 Acura, was traveling eastbound on 93rd Street between Third and Fourth avenues at 3:35 a.m. Just moments earlier, Amado had left an argument taking place at 93 Lounge, a Bay Ridge bar, police said.
