At around 5:30 P.M. this evening, a woman and a child were struck and killed at
the intersection of Jamaica Avenue & 164th Street in Queens. A second child was
also hit in the accident.
According to NYPD, a Range Rover driving southbound on 164th Street approaching
Jamaica Avenue jumped the curb and hit the victims.
The 54-year-old woman and an 8-year-old girl were transported to Jamaica Medical
Center, where they were pronounced dead. Police say the driver of the vehicle
remained at the scene.
Police are on the scene after a car jumped the curb in Queens, killing a woman and child, and injuring a second child. It’s heartbreaking and gut-wrenching. Chirlane and I are sending our prayers to their families.
