The vehicle has not yet been identified and a description of the hit-and-run driver has not been determined, according to an NYPD spokesman, but investigators at the scene could be heard discussing a red Jeep that was seen driving through the neighborhood around the time of the collision, which left the community shaken.
“Every day I walk this route [and] they don’t stop,” a neighborhood resident told QNS. “It is a really bad intersection here. It has been so bad around here, over the last four years.”
