Police say a woman was struck and killed by a driver under the influence of drugs in Huntington.

According to police, an SUV struck Amanda Malloy, 29, of Melville, and her friend as they were jogging along Route 110 in Huntington at around 7:30 p.m. Thursday.

Malloy, a beloved fourth-grade teacher at the JFK Intermediate School, was killed. Vincent Saunders, 32, of Huntington, was taken to Huntington Hospital and is in serious condition.

Malloy's family members say they're devastated by the loss. "She was a beautiful person inside and out," says Barbara Malloy, the victim's mother.

Cops say the driver of the vehicle, 19-year-old Shea Rosen, of Brookville, smelled like marijuana and was unsteady on his feet. He was arrested and pleaded not guilty to driving under the influence while his ability was impaired by drugs.

According to Newsday, the charges are expected to be upgraded. Rosen is now being held on $1 million bond.
