A Freeport woman was killed when a driver — who has been charged with driving while intoxicated and manslaughter — crashed the car he was driving into her in the village on Wednesday evening, Nassau police said.

The collision occurred at approximately 7:05 p.m. on Babylon Turnpike near Carroll Street, police said.

Mia Pollidore, 24, was pronounced dead at the site, police said.

The driver, Tyshaun M. Johashen, 32, who is homeless, remained at the site, police said.
