Melissa Koprowski, a 32-year-old from Yaphank, was sentenced to 4 to 12 years in prison after pleading guilty to manslaughter and related charges for causing a fatal car crash in November 2024 on Middle Country Road. The crash killed 75-year-old Esther Guy, who was a passenger in another vehicle, and injured the driver. Koprowski was intoxicated and impaired by marijuana at the time of the crash. The incident involved her SUV colliding head-on with the Nissan Rogue carrying Esther Guy and her granddaughter. Koprowski was arrested at the hospital after the crash and toxicology confirmed her intoxication. She received her sentence in November 2025, with the case emphasizing the dangers of drunk and drug-impaired driving.
