It is reported that the expectant mother, who was a resident of Great Kills, suffered severe body trauma after being thrown from a white Dodge Challenger.
The woman flew from the car when it slammed into a wall and a utility pole, splitting the car into three pieces on Hylan Boulevard in Staten Island, New York, around 4:45 a.m. on Saturday (January 28).
A New York Police Department spokesperson has since shared that the woman’s boyfriend was charged with manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide, assault, vehicular assault, reckless endangerment, driving while intoxicated and driving while ability impaired by alcohol in the fatal crash.
The boyfriend was taken to Staten Island University North Hospital following the crash, and as police officers detected he was under the influence of alcohol. According to a registry at Buy Buy Baby, the expectant Albanian couple was due to have a baby girl on April 12.

According to an online tribute posted in memory of Sylmetaj, her boyfriend was described as “a shame to the Albanian community.”
One grieving relative also had this to say about the boyfriend, “He’s going away for the rest of his life and that’s still not good enough for that piece of s**t. They couldn’t save the baby. We’re never going to be ok. None of us. We’ve experienced a terrible tragedy.”
According to Mario Basso, the owner of the H20 Auto Spa, which sits near the site of the crash, he was in disbelief of the pole that was still standing after the fatal crash. He said, “I don’t understand how the [utility] pole is still standing. It was hit so hard.”
