According to police reports, Barlow’s 1993 Nissan, traveling northbound, mounted the sidewalk near the intersection of the boulevard and 107th Avenue. Witnesses said that after Mankarious was struck, she flew 50 feet through the air and landed on the sidewalk. Horrified dinner patrons rushed outside where her fiance, Erich Schnurer, knelt at her side.
   Through Monday, a parking meter Barlow blasted from the ground still laid along the Crossbay Boulevard curb.
   “It was frightening,” said an Esquire Diner waiter, who identified himself only as George. “The woman was laid down, facing down, for a few minutes until the police and ambulance came.”
   Upon her arrival at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, Mankarious was pronounced dead.
   Barlow faces additional charges of vehicular manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide, according to a spokesman for District Attorney Richard Brown. Barlow was arraigned on Monday, when a judge set his bail at $50,000. He faces up to 15 years in prison. An attorney for Barlow could not be reached for comment.
   Barlow was coming home from Saturday night’s New York Mets game, where he drank two Heinekens, he reportedly told police. Published reports further stated that an open Heineken bottle was found in Barlow’s car and that he told police officers that he believed he had struck a parked car.
   In an Aug. 13 article, The New York Post reporters cited a police source who said that Barlow’s blood-alcohol content was almost .16, twice the legal limit.
   Mankarious, who has a 17-year-old son, worked as a customer service representative for a telephone company. She was raised in Brooklyn. She had been with Schnurer for seven years.
