Woman Fatally Hit By Car In Ditmas Park Intersection, Police Say

DITMAS PARK, BROOKLYN — A woman was fatally struck by a car at a Ditmas Park intersection Tuesday morning, according to police.

The 64-year-old woman was hit by a gray Chevy near East 17th Street and Foster Avenue about 6:55 a.m., police said.

Medics rushed the unidentified woman to Kings County Hospital but doctors were unable to save her life, said the NYPD.

The 57-year-old driver of the Chevy stayed at the scene of the crash is not suspected of a crime, police said.

Yet graphic video obtained by Streetsblog shows the woman waiting for the walk sign before attempting to cross, only to be knocked down by a car making a quick right turn.

New York law mandates all drivers yield to pedestrians in crosswalks.

This fatal crash comes weeks after Mayor Eric Adams came to an intersection in Prospect Park South — less than two miles away — to announce a massive overhaul of dangerous intersections across the city.

"These tragedies...they've changed lives," Adams said on the corner of Caton and Coney Island avenues. "These fatalities are happening, these injuries are happening, merely because people want to cross the street."
