Pedestrian Fatally Struck By 2 Hit-And-Run Drivers In BK: NYPD

BROOKLYN, NY — A woman was fighting for her life and a man was dead after separate crashes Monday night in Brooklyn.

In Borough Park, a man was fatally struck by back-to-back hit-and-run drivers — the second such crash in two weeks.

Mohammed Hossain, 46, of Brooklyn, was crossing 37th Street when he was struck by a car traveling southbound on Fort Hamilton Parkway, police said.

Hossain was knocked to the ground, and a second car slammed into the man, according to the NYPD.

Hossain was pronounced dead on the scene, and both drivers fled, police said.

Another woman, Yvonne Sandiford, was fatally struck last week in Bed-Stuy by back-to-back hit-and-run drivers, police said.

"New York City must also do more to hold hit-and-run drivers accountable. It’s unacceptable that two drivers hit a fellow New Yorker and kept driving," said Transportation Alternatives Executive Director Danny Harris after Sandiford's death.

In Dyker Heights, a 72-year-old woman was crossing 64th Street at 11th Avenue about 9:30 p.m. Monday when she was struck by a truck traveling southbound on 11th Avenue, according to the NYPD.

The truck attempted to turn left onto 64th Street, slamming into the woman, authorities said.

The woman was rushed to an area hospital in critical condition while the 40-year-old driver remained on the scene, police said.

There were no arrests by Tuesday as police continued to investigate.
