A 79-year-old woman was killed in Brooklyn after she was struck by two vehicles in a hit-and-run on Thursday evening.
Police say that at 6:35 p.m. on Nov. 2, officers from the 79th Precinct responded to a 911 call regarding a motor vehicle collision in the vicinity of New York Avenue and Herkimer Street. Upon their arrival, officers found Yvonne Sandisord lying in the roadway of New York Avenue, unconscious and unresponsive.
Officers learned that prior to the 911 call, Sandisord was crossing New York Avenue in a marked crosswalk when a gray Nissan Rogue, which was headed westbound on Herkimer Street, turned left onto New York Avenue and struck the victim. Sandisord was then struck by a white Toyota Sienna, which was headed northbound on New York Avenue, that was headed toward Fulton Street.
Both cars fled the scene after the incident. EMS declared Sandisord dead at the scene.
No arrests have been made at this time. The investigation remains ongoing by the NYPD Highway District Collision Investigation Squad.
