- Prosecutors allege he left the injured man on a bench and concealed the crash.
- Reyes faces charges carrying up to 10 years in prison if convicted.

## Summary

An FBI agent has been charged after prosecutors allege he drove the wrong way in Brooklyn, struck a pedestrian and left him badly injured without calling for help. The case also centres on an alleged attempt to conceal the crash, raising questions about an agent’s duty to report an incident involving an agency vehicle.

Andrew Reyes, 30, was driving an FBI-issued car with its emergency lights on near Ocean Parkway and Beverley Road at about 6am on 3 February, prosecutors say. They allege he moved the unconscious man to a bench, placed the victim’s bag beside him and later falsely told Justice Department inspectors he had never hit anyone with the car. The pedestrian survived, but the extent of his injuries has not been disclosed. Reyes, who joined the FBI in 2023, faces charges carrying a possible sentence of up to 10 years if convicted.
