From the Perspective of our Brooklyn Car Accident Lawyers
Another life was lost to reckless driving on the streets of Brooklyn—and this time, it was a man who reportedly died saving someone else.
According to authorities, a 36-year-old pedestrian was fatally struck in a hit-and-run crash Thursday night at the intersection of East New York Avenue and Broadway in East New York. Witnesses say the driver of a silver sedan was speeding down the roadway around 10 p.m., hitting multiple construction barriers before slamming into the man at the intersection and fleeing the scene. Tragically, the victim was later pronounced dead at the hospital.
