In the early hours of the morning, around 2:30 am, near the Cas Casuela roundabout, an unremarkable parking lot became the backdrop for a riveting incident. A Ford driver, in a bid to flee the scene after causing an accident, found his escape route blocked by an oncoming vehicle. It was the quick thinking and bravery of a female driver that played a pivotal role in apprehending the fleeing suspect. Law enforcement promptly responded to the scene on Kamerlingh Onnesstraat, confirming the Ford driver’s intoxicated state. The driver was immediately arrested and taken to a nearby police station for processing.

The driver, identified as Nicholas P. Nino, was found to be operating the vehicle under the influence of alcohol. This was not his first offense; Nino had previously had his driving privileges revoked in New York State due to a prior conviction for driving while intoxicated. As a result, he now faces charges of DUI, hit and run, and vehicular manslaughter.
