Floral Park teen pleased not guilty to driving under the influence

A Floral Park teen pleaded not guilty Thursday to driving under the influence and killing a Westbury woman.

Police say Arhum Tanveer was high while driving over 100 mph on Jericho Turnpike last December.

The Nassau district attorney says the 19-year-old slammed into the 30-year-old woman who was backing her car out of a driveway. They say the teen kept driving until his car flipped over.

If convicted, he could face 15 years behind bars.
