Queens Hit-and-Run Car Accident Critically Injures Woman
A woman suffered critical injuries in a Queens pedestrian accident after an out-of-control van struck her inside Flushing Meadow Park, ABC News reports. Witnesses say the van was weaving in and out of traffic on the Van Wyck Expressway and then sped down the ramp, crashed into a parked vehicle, hopped a curb and then hit the woman.
The injured victim was apparently enjoying a family picnic at the park when she was struck. The 49-year-old driver has been charged with reckless driving, endangerment and leaving the scene of an accident.
