Bronx, NY (November 4, 2020) – Around 5:40 p.m. on Tuesday evening, November 3, a fatal hit-and-run pedestrian crash happened in the Bronx.

According to the New York Police Department, the accident happened as a 72-year-old man was crossing East 211th Street around the area of Paulding Avenue. He was suddenly struck by two vehicles. A white sedan was making a left turn when the driver struck the pedestrian and fled the scene, while the other driver remained at the scene.

The victim was immediately rushed to a local hospital for treatment. However, he was later pronounced dead due to the severity of his injuries.

Police have since confirmed that the victim only lived about a block away from where he was struck.

The investigation into the circumstances of the accident continues.

We would like to offer our deepest condolences to the family of the deceased victim at this time.
