A Lindenhurst man was sentenced on Nov. 3 to up to 15 years in prison for a high-speed drunk driving crash in September 2025 that killed a man returning home from working at a nonprofit in Freeport. Bryan Mizhirumbay had pleaded guilty at Nassau County court on Aug. 12 to aggravated vehicular homicide, manslaughter, assault and aggravated driving while intoxicated. Craig White, 55, was driving home from work at AHRC Nassau in Freeport, heading northbound on S. Long Beach Avenue through the intersection with Atlantic Avenue, while Mizhirumbay was driving eastbound as fast as 106 miles per hour in a 35-mile-per-hour zone on Atlantic Avenue, as he approached the intersection with South Long Beach Avenue on Sept. 3, 2025. Mizhirumbay failed to stop for a red light at the intersection and slammed into the driver’s side of White’s car, with the force of the impact driving both vehicles across the intersection and into the westbound lanes of Atlantic Avenue, prosecutors said.
