Driver in deadly Long Island nail salon crash charged with DWI, police say
DEER PARK, N.Y. — An SUV driver was drunk and speeding when he crashed into a nail salon, killing four people and injuring nine, on New York’s Long Island, police said Saturday.
Suffolk County police arrested Steven Schwally, 64, and charged him with DWI after the crash Friday in Deer Park.
Witnesses saw SUV swerving before crash
Schwally was driving a 2020 Chevy Traverse out of a Kohl’s parking lot on Grand Boulevard just before 5 p.m., according to police.
Witnesses said they saw the SUV swerving before it smashed into the Hawaii Nail and Spa across the street.
“It appears a motorist drove through the building, all the way through the building,” Deer Park Assistant Fire Chief Dominic Albanese said at the scene.
Authorities said several people were trapped inside the salon and needed to be rescued.
Four people killed, nine hospitalized
Nine people were rushed to nearby hospitals, including one who was airlifted. A man and three women were pronounced dead at the scene.
“It’s horrible. It’s going to be tough for the community, tough for the volunteer fire department, but we’re going to get through it,” said Albanese.
The names of the victims who died were not immediately released. It remains unclear if they were salon employees, customers or both.
“I don’t even know who’s gone, who’s not gone. I just keep picturing their faces in my head,” said Jasmin Darbouze, a regular customer at the Hawaii Nail and Spa.
Schwally, of Dix Hills, was hospitalized with minor injuries. He will be arraigned at a later date, police said.

“Sandwiches of History”: Resurrecting sandwich recipes that time forgot
Barry Enderwick is eating his way through history, one sandwich at a time. Every day from his home in San Jose, California, Enderwick posts a cooking video from a recipe that time forgot. From the 1905 British book “Salads, Sandwiches and Savouries,” Enderwick prepared the New York Sandwich.
The recipe called for 24 oysters, minced and mixed with mayonnaise, seasoned with lemon juice and pepper, and spread over buttered day-old French bread.
Rescuing recipes from the dustbin of history doesn’t always lead to culinary success. Sampling his New York Sandwich, Enderwick decried it as “a textural wasteland. No, thank you.” Into the trash bin it went!
But Enderwick’s efforts have yielded his own cookbook, a collection of some of the strangest – and sometimes unexpectedly delicious – historical recipes you’ve never heard of.
He even has a traveling stage show: “Sandwiches of History Live.”
From the condiments to the sliced bread, this former Netflix executive has become something of a sandwich celebrity. “You can put just about anything in-between two slices of bread,” he said. “And it’s portable! In general, a sandwich is pretty easy fare. And so, they just have universal appeal.”
Though the sandwich gets its name famously from the Fourth Earl of Sandwich, the earliest sandwich Enderwick has eaten dates from 200 B.C.E. China, a seared beef sandwich called Rou Jia Mo.
He declared it delicious. “Between the onions, and all those spices and the soy sauce … oh my God! Oh man, this is so good!”
While Elvis was famous for his peanut butter and banana concoction, Enderwick says there’s another celebrity who should be more famous for his sandwich: Gene Kelly, who he says had “the greatest man sandwich in the world, which was basically mashed potatoes on bread. And it was delicious.”
Whether it’s a peanut and sardine sandwich (from “Blondie’s Cook Book” from 1947), or the parmesian radish sandwich (from 1909’s “The Up-To-Date Sandwich Book”), Enderwick tries to get a taste of who we were – good or gross – one recipe at a time.
RECIPE: A sophisticated club sandwich
Blogger Barry Enderwick, of Sandwiches of History, offers “Sunday Morning” viewers a 1958 recipe for a club sandwich that, he says, shouldn’t work, but actually does, really well!
