Hit-and-Run Driver Injures Six Pedestrians in Bronx Sidewalk Crash: What Victims Should Know
From the Perspective of our Bronx Hit-and-Run Accident Lawyers
A shocking hit-and-run incident in the Melrose section of the Bronx sent six people to the hospital after a vehicle careened onto the sidewalk and into a sidewalk shed at the busy intersection of East 149th Street and Courtlandt Avenue . Surveillance footage captured the driver of a dark-colored Ford Mustang briefly pausing at the intersection around 11 a.m. before striking a pedestrian, jumping the curb, and crashing into five more people.
Instead of stopping to render aid, the driver backed up and fled the scene. Both the driver and a passenger allegedly abandoned the heavily damaged vehicle and ran off on foot. The NYPD is actively searching for the individuals involved.
