Pregnant Adriana Sylmetaj died in Staten Island NYC accident-Adem Nikeziq arrested

A pregnant 23-year-old woman was killed along with her unborn baby after her allegedly drunk partner crashed a Dodge Challenger while traveling over 100 mph through Staten Island.

Adriana Sylmetaj was ejected from the car when it collided with a utility pole at around 5am on Sunday morning, causing the vehicle to break into three parts.

Her boyfriend Adem Nikeziq, 30, was charged with manslaughter, negligent homicide, reckless endangerment and driving while intoxicated, among other things, an NYPD spokesperson said.

The Albanian couple were traveling southbound on Hylan Boulevard in New Dorp at 4.44am when Nikesiq lost control. The vehicle hit a barrier wall before spinning out and crashing into a wooden utility pole, police said.

It was reported that the severity of the impact caused Sylmetaj to be ejected from the car and she was pronounced dead at the scene.
