Former emergency services worker pleads guilty in fatal Levittown hit-and-run

A former emergency services worker admitted Thursday to killing an Adelphi University student in a Levittown hit-and-run that went from fender-bender to life-ending tragedy when the driver dragged the victim and ran over her after she approached his pickup. Daniel Coppolo pleaded guilty to manslaughter in Nassau County Court in a deal that will send him to prison for 5 to 15 years in the 2017 death of Taranjit Parmar. Parmar was an honors student in her second year of Adelphi's dental program when she died just days before her 19th birthday, according to prosecutors.
