Nassau Man Arrested After He Hit Car, Drove Into Pool: Police

Police arrested a Levittown man Sunday night after they say he crashed his pickup truck through someone's backyard and into their pool.

According to police, Andrew Zub, 40, of Elm Drive West, was driving a 2016 Dodge Ram southbound on Seamans Neck Road near Holmes Street at 9:15 p.m. when he allegedly collided with a 2002 Nissan. The collision forced Zub's truck off the road, where he collided with a fence on Ferris Road, driving into a backyard and knocking down an above-ground swimming pool. Police say Zub fled the scene on foot.

The Wantagh-Levittown Volunteer Ambulance Corps took the driver of the Nissan, a 53-year-old man, and his passenger, a 74-year-old woman, to a nearby hospital for treatment of their injuries.

An investigation by police led to the arrest of Zub at his home several hours later. He is charged with two counts of leaving the scene of an accident with property damage, two counts of leaving the scene of an accident with injury, second-degree aggravated unlicensed operation and circumventing an interlock device. He is scheduled to be arraigned in First District Court in Hempstead on Monday.
