A Nassau County grand jury indicted a driver suspected of being drunk who was already charged with the deaths of two Roslyn teens in a wrong-way car crash in Jericho May 3, according to court records.

Amandeep Sing, 34, was accused by the Nassau District Attorney’s Office of driving on the wrong side of the road at 95 mph with a blood alcohol count of 0.15 and cocaine in his system, based on the records cited by Newsday. He faces a series of charges in the vehicular crash that resulted and killed young tennis starDrew Hassenbein and Ethan

Falkowitz. Two others were injured. Roslyn High School students Zach Sheena and Ethan Solop, riding in the car with the two middleschoolers, were also hospitalized with internal injuries but were in stable condition following the accident.

Singh was charged with multiple offenses, including aggravated vehicular homicide, first-degree vehicular manslaughter, second-degree manslaughter, leaving the scene of an auto accident with a fatality, driving while intoxicated and two counts of second-degree assault. His 15-count indictment includes additional charges of operat- ing a motor vehicle while impaired by drugs, reckless driving and additional manslaughter and assault charges, according to court records. The indictment occurred after Singh appeared at a Brooklyn appeals court June 2 where his attorney, James Kousouros, pressed for his client to be released on a bond. He was denied.

Singh is set to appear in court again June 26 to be arraigned. Police reported that the four boys were in a 2019 Alpha Romero sedan driving on North Broadway on May 3. At 10:21 p.m. they were struck by Singh’s 2019 Dodge Ram
