FBI Agent Struck Pedestrian with Government Car Then Lied About NYC Hit-and-Run, Prosecutors Say
Prosecutors say Andrew Reyes fled after striking a pedestrian and later lied to investigators, while the victim survived his injuries.
- On Thursday, authorities arrested former FBI Special Agent Andrew Reyes after unsealing an indictment charging him with a February hit-and-run in Brooklyn involving a pedestrian.
- Prosecutors allege Reyes drove his FBI-issued vehicle northbound in the southbound lanes of Ocean Parkway with emergency lights activated on Feb. 3, 2026, blowing through a red light at Beverley Road and striking the pedestrian.
- After striking the victim, Reyes allegedly dragged the unconscious man to a bench, retrieved his bag, and left the scene without calling emergency services or reporting the incident to the FBI, prosecutors allege.
- Investigators from the Justice Department's Office of Inspector General questioned Reyes on May 1 about hitting someone with his government vehicle, and he allegedly "falsely stated that he had not."
- Reyes faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted and is scheduled for arraignment Thursday in Brooklyn Federal Court; his attorney, Federal Public Defender Nora Hirozawa, said he would plead not guilty.
