Guilty plea in Westchester death

WHITE PLAINS – A 30-year-old Mohegan Lake man pled guilty in Westchester County Court in Tuesday to leaving the scene of an incident without reporting and criminally negligent homicide.

On September 12, 2007 at about 11 p.m., David Rogonia and the victim, Douglas Srour, were driving in the vicinity of 201 West Main Street in Mount Kisco where Rogonia lost control of his 1987 Mustang, which rolled over.

The victim was ejected and sustained injuries. He died on September 13, 2007.

Rogonia got out of the vehicle after the accident, saw the victim on the ground, apparently unconscious and injured, and fled without seeking help and without leaving contact information.

A witness heard the crash and saw Rogonia flee the area. Police found his driver’s license and confirmed with the witness that it was the man he saw.

He finally contacted the police and turned himself in on September 13.

When sentenced, he faces seven years in state prison.
