CUTCHOGUE, N.Y. (AP) - A Long Island driver whose pickup truck slammed into a limousine, killing four young women, is being held on $500,000 bail after pleading not guilty at his hospital arraignment.
Suffolk County District Attorney Thomas Spota and Southold Town Police Chief Martin Flatley plan to discuss the case at a midday briefing on Monday.
Steven Romeo was arraigned on a misdemeanor DWI charge Sunday in Greenport, New York.
Attorney Dan O'Brien offered condolences and said Romeo had remained at the crash scene Saturday.
Four other women and the limo driver were hospitalized.
The friends had been at a winery on Long Island's East End.
Authorities say their driver was trying to make a U-turn at an intersection along Route 48 in Cutchogue when the pickup hit the limo broadside.
