Courts & Crime Westbury man indicted for high-speed DWI crash on Meadowbrook State Parkway By Casey Fahrer … Comments Posted on November 9, 2026 A Westbury man was indicted on DWI and other charges after a crash on the Meadowbrook State Parkway hospitalized multiple people. Shutterstock A Nassau County grand jury has indicted a Westbury man for allegedly causing a high-speed crash on the Meadowbrook State Parkway in May that threw a passenger out of the back window of the victim vehicle, causing life-threatening injuries, Nassau County prosecutors said. Deondre Clark pleaded not guilty Friday at Nassau County court to two counts of aggravated vehicular assault, two counts of vehicular assault, assault, two counts of driving while intoxicated, leaving the scene of an accident resulting in serious injury, aggravated driving while intoxicated and reckless driving, pleading not guilty. Clark was driving a 2025 Toyota Camry northbound near Exit M5 in East Meadow at approximately 106 miles per hour when he rear-ended a white 2015 Honda Pilot, carrying a driver and three passengers, causing the other car to spin out and the back right rear seat passenger to be ejected on May 24, prosecutors said. The ejected victim was hospitalized after suffering significant head injuries and had to be intubated. Hospital staff determined that the victim suffered a brain bleed, facial fractures, and a dislocated humerus. The other people in the car all sustained minor injuries, prosecutors said. After the crash, Clark allegedly exited the Camry, looked at the victim lying in the roadway, and fled on foot down the parkway, and was eventually apprehended by police near the exit ramp of M5, prosecutors said. The defendant was apprehended by a Nassau County Police Department officer near the exit ramp of M5. Clark was hospitalized and a toxicology test showed he had a BAC of .21% roughly three and a half hours after the crash, prosecutors said. HIs bail was set at $200,000 cash, $400,000 bond, and $2 million partially secured bond. Clark is due back in court on Dec. 18. If convicted, he faces up to seven to 15 years in prison.
