The driver who killed two people and badly injured three others after barreling onto an Upper Manhattan sidewalk tested over the legal driving limit for alcohol after the crash and has been criminally charged, police and sources said Saturday.

Elvin Suarez of Morningside Heights was hit with multiple counts of manslaughter, vehicular assault and DWI, cops said. 

His breathalyzer test came back .1, a police source said, well above the legal blood alcohol content limit of .08.

Michael Saint-Hilaire, a 35-year-old father of triplets, and doorman Jason Negron, 46, were killed when Suarez lost control of his car near Amsterdam Avenue and West 109th Street in Morningside Heights around 6 p.m Friday, about two blocks from his home, according to police.

The chain-reaction crash began when the driver sideswiped a car on East 108th Street, onlookers said. The crash involved seven vehicles and ended when Suarez’s car plowed into a group of people sitting outside a barbershop, cops said.

The two men were rushed to the hospital in critical condition but couldn’t be saved, cops said.

A 36-year-old, 44-year-old and a 51-year-old man were taken to St. Luke’s Hospital in critical condition, police said.

Suarez was taken to a hospital and his blood was tested for alcohol, police sources said.

A dramatic photo from the scene apparently shows Suarez lying on his back on the sidewalk as an NYPD officer holds his hand right after the crash. Witnesses said the front of his black Mercedes-Benz crushed one man against an electronic parking kiosk.

Witness David Lawrence, 65, called the wreck a “horror show” and said the out-of-control driver “pinned” one man. leaving him “disfigured.” 

“He was basically crushed between the parking post and the black Mercedes,” Lawrence told The Post right after the crash. 

The victims and the driver were childhood pals, a friend said.

“I know all of them,” a man who was at the scene said, refusing to provide his name. “I know, Jason and Mike. I know the guys in the hospital. … We grew up together.”

One of the men who was hospitalized needs hip surgery and has spinal injuries, he said.

“I’m in shock,” the man said, adding that his friends were in stable condition. “I still can’t believe it.”

Suarez has lived in the area for 40 years, the man said.

Glenn Walcott, Saxon at the church next door to the driver’s building, knows Suarez, whom he said hangs out next to the church with a group of men, he said.

“They sit out here and drink all the time,” Walcott said. “You see the bottles over there? I ain’t say they’re his. I’m just saying, this is where they sit.”

The men leave bottles and other garbage outside the church, he said.

“They come out here, put their chairs, put their little table, play dominoes,” Walcott said, adding he didn’t see them on Friday before the crash because he wasn’t at the church. “And drink beer, they are here, like, all day pretty much, drinking beer.”
