Recent Pedestrian Injury Personal Injury Cases
Most recently, an elderly woman was struck and killed by a hit and run driver with a suspended license in Queens. According to the police, the 73-year-old woman who investigators believe suffered from dementia was walking in the middle of Jamaica Avenue when a gray 2004 Nissan Altima hit her and took off at about 6:30 am. Medics rushed the victim to Jamaica Hospital in critical condition with head trauma and a broken leg where she died three hours later.
Video surveillance caught her leaving her nearby home on 129th Street in a nightgown and sneakers, and investigators are looking into the specific cause of the accident. The twenty-seven-year-old driver was arrested and charged with leaving the scene of an accident as well as being an unlicensed operator.
