Woman struck by pickup truck, in serious condition

Last night at around 3:00AM a couple was crossing the intersection of Ocean Parkway and Church Ave. by the entrance to the Prospect Expressway and the woman, who appeared to have been drunk, all of a sudden ran into the street, a passing pickup truck couldn’t stop due to the wet pavement struck the woman throwing her more the 30 feet into the intersection.

A Flatbush Shomrim member that was passing by saw what had happened and alerted Hatzalah. The woman was knocked unconscious and didn’t appear to have been breathing was rushed to Lutheran Trauma Center with ALS and was listed in serious condition. The husband who himself was not in control of all his senses stayed behind and was shouting at police officers.

The road remained shut for many hours while the Highway A.I.S. (Accident Investigation Section) was investigating this accident, they later impounded the pickup truck as part of their investigation.

Here are 2 very important numbers to make sure to have on you at all times. Hatzalah (718) 387-1750 and Shomrim (718) 774-3333

    In general an accident in which a car strikes a pedestrian it is usually the drives fault, but in this incident it is clearly not the drivers fault for a number of reasons, he had the right or way, the woman was intoxicated, and more.

    There were 4 different ambulances on scene. 3 went to the hospital (BLS and ALS)

    True this is out of Crown Heights, but I happened to be there when it happened. Shomrim patrol the streets at night almost every night.

    The woman was Russian but im not sure if she was Jewish, but on ocean parkway it’s a high probability that she was Jewish
