The 70-year-old upstate motorist who allegedly killed a man and injured a half-dozen other pedestrians in Chinatown Monday is free — with a valid license in hand — to still drive.

Henry Herman, of Monroe, was charged with seven counts of criminal misdemeanor for failure to yield, one for each person struck, and three traffic violations, including for failure to exercise due care, unsafe backing of a vehicle and driving on/across a sidewalk.

He must appear in Criminal Court but was freed with a desk-appearance ticket after cops say he lost control of his SUV.

A DMV rep said Herman is still allowed to drive.

He “has a full and valid NYS driver license, and there are no other crashes or driving convictions on his record,” the spokeswoman said. The DMV couldn’t say if his license could be yanked if he is convicted.
