Driver Gets 2 to 6 Years For Fatal Hit-And-Run In Hartsdale

HARTSDALE, NY — The family of a Westchester community leader got justice today as the man responsible for her death was sentenced to prison.

Westchester County District Attorney Miriam Rocah announced on Monday that a Brooklyn man was sentenced to two to six years in prison for the August 2023 hit-and-run in Hartsdale that killed 65-year-old Stephanie Kavourias.

"The victim was a beloved figure in the Greenburgh community, and her life was senselessly taken when the defendant chose to get behind the wheel of his car and drive while impaired," Rocah said. "We hope this prosecution and sentence helps Ms. Kovourias’s loved ones begin the process of healing from this tragedy."

43-year-old Antonio Robles Sanchez pleaded guilty on Aug. 1 to felony second degree vehicular manslaughter, felony leaving the scene of an incident without reporting, felony criminally negligent homicide and misdemeanor driving while ability impaired by drugs.

On August 26, 2023, around 11:14 a.m., Sanchez, while under the influence of Xanax, drove his Dodge Ram into Kavourias who was at the intersection of Rockledge Road and East Hartsdale Avenue, and then left the scene.

Kavourias was taken to White Plains Hospital where she was pronounced dead.

The Greenburgh Police Department found Sanchez's license plate at the scene and, with assistance from White Plains Public Safety, located and arrested him, while he was stopped in traffic while asleep at the wheel of his truck in front of the Westchester County Center.
