KEW GARDENS, QUEENS — Daniel Aguirre, 21, was driving his son, 3, and the mother of his child, 22, through Kew Gardens on Sunday night when he crashed head-on into another car; killing the young woman, according to the NYPD and other reports.

Around 11:06 p.m. on Sunday, Aguirre was driving a Toyota Corolla west on Park Lane South near Mayfield Road when he veered into the eastbound lane and hit a Toyota Camry, police said, adding that the 21-year-old might have been driving while intoxicated.

The boy, as well as the 44-year-old Camry driver — who stayed at the scene after the accident — were both taken to the hospital in stable condition, police said.
