An unlicensed, intoxicated driver crashed into a Nassau County police car parked on the shoulder of the Long Island Expressway. The driver left the officer and the driver's passenger in critical condition. At 5:44 a.m., yesterday, highway patrol officer Gennaro Ferraro was parked on Exit 48 on the Long Island Expressway. His car was hit by Paul Reid, Jr., 24, from Brentwood. The driver has a checkered driving record.
Reid, Ferraro, and Reid's passenger, Jorge Roman, 24 were taken to Nassau University Medical Center. Reid and Ferraro were both in critical condition, but stable. Ferraro suffered head and back trauma. Roman has a possible fractured leg. Reid has a possible collapsed lung.
Reid was arrested on several charges. The charges he was arrested for was second-degree vehicular result, first-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, and driving while intoxicated. Records indicate that Reid either pleaded guilty to or was convicted of disorderly conduct in 2000 and 2001. State motor vehicle records indicate his license was suspended or revoked multiple times in 2005 for driving without insurance, driving an unregistered vehicle, and failing to pay fines and respond to summonses.
