Cops have arrested the driver accused of slamming into a pedestrian on a Queens street — nearly killing him.
Luis Orellana, 26, of Jackson Heights, was charged with vehicular assault and DWI after he crashed into a 47-year-old man on Northern Blvd. near 81st St. in Jackson Heights on Saturday night.
The victim, who has not been identified, was trying to cross the street from the middle of the block.
Medics rushed him to Elmhurst Hospital Center, where he remains on life support, police said.
Orellana was taken into custody at the scene.
His arraignment was pending Sunday.
