Pedestrian Seriously Injured in Hit-n-Run Accident

A Jewish man was left in critical condition after being hit by a car on Eastern Parkway; witnesses say that the driver didn’t bother stopping – instead, he just sped away.

The incident occurred on Eastern Parkway near the intersection of Albany Avenue at around 7:20 Sunday evening. Bochurim who witnessed the crash described the vehicle as a minivan or SUV, but couldn’t provide any more information about the car.

Hatzolah was called, and the victim was rushed to Kings County Hospital.

  • Details Please

    Bochur? Yungerman? Crossed in middle of the street? Red light? jaywalked? Israeli?

  • People need to cross on there green

    This man crossed on a red!!!! Total idiot! I hope he has a refuah shalema and I’m sure he learned his lesson!

  • Attempted murder

    There are cameras by many of the lights on Eastern Parkway. If they’re really interested in arresting the perpetrator, it can be done. Unfortunately, I don’t think they are.

  • Bad Crossing Area

    Not sure if this is the area, but there is no light on the service lane at one corner. A stop sign is worthless around here and we all have to treat it as if it says: SPEED UP.

    To # 12, You don’t need a last name for tehillim (that’s just being nosey)
    To #15, Yuh, now is SO the time to lecture him.

    I once asked the 71st precinct head to ticket people jay-walking on Eastern Parkway .This request was refused because “the fine was too small”.

    IM sorry that he got hit by a car. It really sucks and i wish him a full refuah shelayma. however, he kinda was asking for the accident when he crossed in the middle of the street. I saw the accident scene, it wasnt in the cross walk. you dont want to get hit, then dont walk in that area.

  • stop the violence

    Hello- my husband got hit crossing eastern parkway on a GREEN almost 4 years ago. They never caught the blue car that tried to run him down. Maybe that area needs those speed bumps!
