A Long Island man died after his car was struck by an alleged drunken driver in Canarsie early Tuesday, authorities said.

Nikon Vouyiouklis, 60, was turning from Remsen Avenue onto Glenwood Road just before 5 a.m. when an Infiniti G-37 heading south on Remsen smashed into his Toyota Camry, cops said.

The Infiniti, driven by Fabian Brooks, 25, careened into a telephone pole, while the Toyota veered into three parked cars, police said.

Both drivers were taken to Brookdale Hospital, where Vouyiouklis, of Valley Stream, died, according to authorities.

Brooks suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was arrested at Brookdale, officials said.

Brooks, of Canarsie, was hit with a slew of charges including criminally negligent homicide, vehicular manslaughter and DWI, cops said.
