Police are investigating two traffic fatalities in Staten Island and Brooklyn that killed two men on Monday.
NYPD officers responded to a car crash on Goethals Road North near Jules Drive in Staten Island’s Graniteville neighborhood after 10 p.m. and found a severely injured man. They pronounced him dead at the scene and have not publicly identified him as they work to notify his family.
Police later determined the man was a passenger in a Black BMW sedan whose driver had lost control on a multilane side street and slammed into a light pole. The driver fled the scene, according to NYPD officials, and had not been tracked down by Tuesday morning.
