How Did Ismenia Urena Die?
In an unfortunate incident reported by the police, Sotirios Spanos, aged 32 and residing on Holly Lane, was driving his 2023 Acura MDX in an eastward direction along Northern Boulevard, close to Moores Hill Road. Regrettably, he crossed the yellow boundary marking and collided with a 2013 Ferrari convertible that was traveling in the opposite westbound direction. Tragically, the female passenger in the Ferrari, who was 37 years old, lost her life at the scene, as confirmed by a medic from the Nassau County police department. The male driver of the Ferrari, also 37 years old, was transported to a hospital, where medical professionals later confirmed his passing. The victims have been identified as Ismenia Urena and Odalys through social media channels. The collision occurred around 12:30 in the early morning, according to official reports.
After an extensive inquiry into the incident, it was determined that Sotirios Spanos, who had remained present at the accident scene, was under the influence of alcohol at the time of the collision. The police took him into custody without any resistance. It is noteworthy that Spanos has not left the scene since the accident occurred.
In a respectful gesture towards the victims’ families, the authorities refrained from disclosing the names of the deceased individuals until their kin could be properly informed. According to police reports, Spanos is facing several serious charges, including aggravated vehicular homicide, two counts of second-degree manslaughter, two charges of second-degree assault, driving while intoxicated, and reckless driving. Additionally, he has been accused of operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol.
Scheduled for Sunday, Spanos is expected to make his appearance at the First District Court in Hempstead for his arraignment. Throughout the investigation of the incident, a section of Route 25A in Laurel Hollow had to be temporarily closed; however, it was reopened by around 10 a.m. This unfortunate event underscores the critical importance of responsible driving and the severe consequences that can arise from impaired or reckless behavior on the road.
