Staten Island, NY (January 14, 2021) – Around 12:40 a.m. on Thursday morning, January 14, a pedestrian accident with injuries took place in Staten Island.

According to police, the accident happened at 200 Victory Boulevard. A 56-year-old male Sanitation worker was outside his garbage truck when he was suddenly struck by the driver of an SUV. He was going from house to house at the time when he was struck by the GMC Terrain, which did not have its headlights on despite the early morning hours.

The male driver stopped the vehicle and got out of his vehicle. A passenger in the garbage truck said that the driver then ran away on foot. Police have not yet provided a description of the suspect.

The pedestrian was seriously injured and was taken to Richmond University Medical Center for treatment. He allegedly suffered from injuries to his head, neck, back, and ankle.

Our thoughts are with the injured victim and their family in hopes of a full recovery.
