Crystal DeJesus, 20, was behind the wheel of a 2010 BMW 328a when she allegedly plowed into a 19-year-old woman walking in the intersection of Halsey Street and Tompkins Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant minutes before midnight on Sunday, cops said.

She also struck a 32-year-old man who was riding a bike, authorities said.

Both were taken to the Kings County Hospital Center, where the pedestrian was listed in critical condition and the bicyclist in stable condition with minor injuries, police said. 

DeJesus – who lives on the Upper West Side – stayed at the site of the crash until cops arrived.

Her black BMW could be seen with a shattered windshield, near a white bicycle laying on its side in the crosswalk, in pictures of the scene.

DeJesus has been charged with assault, vehicular assault, operating a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol content of .08 or more, driving while intoxicated, reckless driving and operating without insurance or registration, cops said.
