Subryan is charged with DWI, vehicular manslaughter and leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death.
Chohan was pronounced dead at Jamaica Hospital. Several neighbors ran outside to try to help the woman.
"Oh man, she was bad," one man told Schuck. "There was nothing we could do. Everybody was just standing there all confused, like they can't believe that this happened over here. She was out cold."
"My wife was getting ready to go out with the kid, and she screamed that somebody hit another car and ran away," another neighbor said. "When I went to check, I saw the lady lying on the floor, but she wasn't breathing or anything."
