A Valley Stream man was indicted on Thursday, Jan. 29, for striking and killing a pedestrian in Hempstead while allegedly intoxicated and under the influence of alcohol and opioids on Halloween 2025, Nassau County District Attorney Anne Donnelly announced.
Rojas stopped in the road to pick something up in the street when Forero allegedly drove through a yellow light and hit him, she said.
Forero stopped and witnesses called emergency services.
The investigation determined that after dropping off a family member at a Halloween party, Forero allegedly went to a bar in Garden City, where he drank alcohol, Donnelly said.
Blood drawn from Forero revealed that his blood alcohol concentration was .12%, roughly an hour and a half after the crash.
