    A 25-year-old yeshiva student died after his car was swiped by an apparent drunk driver yesterday.

    Moshe Berkowitz was heading north on Ocean Avenue near Avenue N when a southbound Volkswagen Passat hit him just after 11:30 p.m.

    Police believe the 23-year-old driver of the other vehicle was drunk and charges are pending. He and his female passenger were taken to Kings County Hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.

    Berkowitz, a student at Yeshiva Ohr Yitzchok in Flatbush, was pronounced dead at Maimonides Medical Center.

      After looking at the pictures of the cars, I’m starting to think that drag racing played a bigger part in this accident than drinking.

      I think you should do a follow up on this article because according to the Daily News, it was found that the driver was not drunk. Not to excuse what happened but I think it’s important to follow up.
