ALLERTON, The Bronx (WABC) — Abdul Titumir could not save his friend, 39-year-old Angel Johnson. She was one of two women, who police say were killed when the 81-year-old driver of a Mercedes Benz plowed into people at a crosswalk in the Bronx<\/a>, before crashing into several drivers.<\/p>\n

Authorities say Johnson and another woman, 57-year-old Robin Kennedy were among those crossing Allerton Avenue at Holland Avenue around 2 p.m. Friday as the driver bolted through a red light.<\/p>\n

According to authorities, Johnson and Kennedy died at the hospital with extensive trauma to their bodies. Seven other people were also taken to the hospital, including the 81-year-old driver of the Mercedes.<\/p>\n

Titumir says he’s worked at the store on the corner for 35 years, meeting friendly customers like Johnson.<\/p>\n

“She always walk around the neighborhood, say hello to everybody all the time. So friendly. And she always talking to me because passing through,” he said.<\/p>\n

The sound of the Mercedes taking off is what drew onlookers.<\/p>\n

“I heard the obviously the car is noise switching gears. So I know someone who was speeding and it’s unusual to hear that around here, so I automatically run out. I catch the last part when the lady was flying up and the other two ladies flew and everyone was, like, holding their heads in shock,” Titimur added.<\/p>\n

According to those who knew Kennedy, she lived in the neighborhood with her sister and their mom.<\/p>\n
