MINEOLA, NY : Driver arraigned in Massapequa crash on Wednesday, 20th September 2023

A Long Island man accused in a DWI crash that killed four family members appeared in court Wednesday for arraignment on vehicular homicide charges.

For the first time, the victims' grieving family came face to face with 32-year-old Michael DeAngelo, who was handcuffed to his wheelchair. He claims he's not guilty of the DUI crash that left three children and their beloved patriarch dead last month in Massapequa.

"The defendant, Michael DeAngelo, turned his car into a missile," Nassau County District Attorney Anne Donnelly said. "He was going 120 mph on the Sunrise Highway, a busy Nassau County road, at 7:15 in the evening."

"As I arrived to claim each and every one of my family members' bodies, I had to hold my son with his neck ripped open," Tasheba Huntley-Hamilton said.
