A Long Island woman allegedly mowed down her cousin twice with a minivan after a Facebook-fueled catfight over a man -- leaving the victim helpless in the middle of a busy road on a freezing night, sources said.
Giselle Penagos, 21, required emergency surgery Monday to fix a broken leg and shattered pelvis after she and her cousin Melanie Spanopoulos sparred viciously over a cyber-Casanova during a wild car ride.

Luckily, an unidentified man rescued Penagos as she lay bleeding in Elmont early Monday morning and rushed her to her father's house in Queens.
After watching the Jets game at a bar, Spanopoulos -- whose Facebook page notes that her favorite activities are "getting drunk" and "speaking gibberish" -- and Penagos headed home on the Southern State Parkway.That's when one of the girls found out the other one was in touch with a potential love interest on Facebook.
The man refused Penagos' friend request but had accepted Spanopoulos'.
Spanopoulos pulled off the parkway onto a dark street near Elmont Avenue and Penagos got out. When Penagos refused to get back in the van, Spanopoulos allegedly leaped out and the pair wrestled each other to the ground.
Spanopoulos then hopped behind the wheel and plowed into Penagos with the van. She then allegedly put the vehicle in reverse and smashed into her a second time.
Spanopoulos told Penagos again to "get the xxxx in the car," according to Penagos' uncle, William Penagos to which she replied, "I can't get in the car, I can't feel my legs...".
Melanie Spanopoulos was charged with assault and released on $10,000 bond.
