It is sheer madness that we allow these people to drive.
The Brooklyn art curator fatally struck by an SUV Sunday evening was out holiday shopping with her chocolatier boyfriend when the unlicensed driver jumped the curb and mowed her down, sources said on Monday.
“They were always holding hands and she seemed happy with him,” a doorman at boyfreind Jeffrey Toth’s Brooklyn Heights building said of Victoria Nicodemus, 30.
“She always seemed like she was a happy person, that big smile she always had.”
The deadly collision marked the second time in less than a year that motorist Marlon Sewell was caught driving without his license, which was suspended for failure to answer a traffic summons, sources told The Post.
Sewell, 39, was previously nabbed on March 12 at a vehicle-safety checkpoint in Brownsville, the sources said.
Sewell was released on his own recognizance after being arraigned in Brooklyn Criminal Court Monday on misdemeanor charges of aggravated unlicensed operation of a vehicle and driving without a license.
Prosecutor Tziyonah Langsam asked for $20,000 bail, adding that Sewell “had his licenses suspended in 2014 for failure to pay child-support obligations.” But Judge Marguerite Dougherty said, “Without additional charges I see no reason to set bail.”
According to authorities and witnesses, Sewell swerved to avoid a bus just before hisChevy Suburban plowed into Nicodemus, Toth and three others, who suffered minor injuries.
