A shocking new video captured the gut-wrenching moment an accused drunk driver slammed into a Long Island nail salon, killing and off-duty NYPD cop and three others — while injuring nine others.

The minivan allegedly driven by accused drunk driver Steven Schwally barrels over a curb, briefly going airborne before it slams at full speed into Hawaii Nail & Spa in Deer Park on June 28, footage posted on Instagram by the account ppv_tahoe on Wednesday shows.

An unidentified man is seen walking out of a neighboring business just moments before the minivan zips past him at astonishing speed right into the nail salon, the video shows.

Nice how the bystander just gets in his jeep and drives off. What an a-hole.

This may have been his retirement plan. Go to prison the rest of his life, free meals, room and board, free medical, free clothing, spend all day in the library, chair yoga, guitar lessons, etc.

Unreal

Btw- that looks like it was done on purpose. Like the driver had an axe to grind with someone in the business

He acted as if he knew it was going to happen. Weird.

The crash killed off-duty NYPD cop Emilia Rennhack, 31, who was having her nails done for a wedding later in the day, and three others — Jiancai Chen, 37; Yan Xu, 41; and Meizi Zhang, 40.

Prosecutors said Schwally admitted to police that he downed 18 beers in the hours prior to the fatal crash and is being held on $1 million bail pending a return court appearance on July 19.

...

Earlier records show that Schwally was also hit with a DWI charge in Dix Hills on March 25, 2013.

“The defendant was still seated in the driver’s seat,” the report said. “The vehicle’s keys were still in the ignition, the vehicle’s engine was on and the defendant was asleep.”

Has to be the most clueless or uncaring human on the planet. Unless he has Biden Syndrome.

Alleged this and that or another. Are they sure it even happened at all?

I swear I clicked on this thread because today I saw another nail salon get plowed into today and thought it was going to be about the one I saw. The car didn’t go all the way through the front, so glad it wasn’t about this thread.

I want to know who that guy is. If he’s not retarded or some other disability, dude has some serious issues and everyone should know about it.

The video at the article does not show him driving away.

Do you have a video where he drives off?

The drunk driver looks more like 94 instead of 64. Not his first DUI either.

Don’t most drunks drive slowly? That car zoomed like a rocket. Maybe there is something more to the story?

Weird.

It sure does. He made it right through that tight space between all the parked cars. That was totally deliberate.

In this case he likely nodded out or blacked-out, drunk as a skunk, while he’s blacked out he stretches his right leg out with his foot jamming down on the pedal. The driver was still “out” when they found him in the driver’s seat.
