Posted by gold_12th on Wed Feb 22 11:35:46 2012 A woman crossing one of the city’s most dangerous intersections in Queens died after getting struck by an MTA bus this morning, authorities said.The driver of the Q44 bus sped off after the accident on Northern Boulevard, not realizing she had just hit the woman at 8:15 a.m., transit officials said. The victim apparently darted into the busy boulevard as she tried to flag down a bus on Union Street. She was pronounced dead at the scene. “The woman was running across the street, waving to I think, get a bus," a witness said. "[She] really hit her hard. She was just unconscious.” Transit authorities later tracked down the bus and are still questioning the operator. That intersection had 92 pedestrian and car crashes between 1995-2009, according to CrashStat.org. Police are still investigating. --- 10:12AM; http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/queens/woman_killed_by_car_strike_at_dangerous_MbgKEKRLtuRxMkRsGv76QL#ixzz1n84OpAoR Cops are trying to find a city bus that allegedly struck and killed a woman in Queens Wednesday, officials said. The woman, believed to be in her 40s, was hit on Northern Blvd. near Union St. in Flushing shortly after 8 a.m., cops said. She died at the scene. Police sources said investigators are still interviewing several witnesses, who are giving conflicting reports as to whether it was a bus or a car that hit the woman. “A customer got on a bus and told the driver she saw a bus hit a woman,” said MTA spokeswoman Deirdre Parker. “We have to figure out, if it was one of our buses, which one it was,” she said, adding that the driver may have been unaware that the woman was hit. --- 10:42AM; http://www.nydailynews.com/news/woman-struck-killed-queens-possibly-city-bus-article-1.1026741#ixzz1n84WBARC |
