The New York City Police Dept. is searching for the drivers in two separate fatal hit-and-run crashes in Manhattan and The Bronx.\u00a0 No arrests have been made in either case.<\/p>\n
In Manhattan, police said a 66-year-old man was crossing 9th Ave. and 55th St. in Hell\u2019s Kitchen at around 5:30 AM Saturday, when he was hit by an unknown vehicle traveling southbound on 9th Ave.<\/p>\n
The man was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.<\/p>\n
\u201cHit and run drivers. That\u2019s immoral,\u201d Jim Marte of Hell\u2019s Kitchen said while standing near the scene of the collision. \u201cIt\u2019s pretty dangerous. But I mean anyone who hits someone and doesn\u2019t take care of it, it\u2019s really pretty awful.”<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s crazy, that\u2019s so sad,\u201d neighbor Alfredo Pidgon added, pointing to what he described as dangerous driving.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of irresponsible people around, so, you know, like crazy drivers.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, in The Bronx, the NYPD said a man was struck by a white BMW SUV near College Ave. and 166th St.around 4:00 AM Saturday.<\/p>\n
Police said the man at that scene was lying unconscious on the roadway following some sort of fight when the SUV hit him. The driver left the scene. Authorities say it’s not clear whether the driver was involved in the fight.<\/p>\n
Police also disclosed that about 10 minutes after the first incident, an NYPD car struck the man as he remained on the ground. The department says the officer rendered aid. But the man was pronounced dead at the hospital.<\/p>\n
