Queens, NY – Pedestrian Struck by Vehicle at 212th Place & Jamaica Ave

Queens, NY (September 14, 2024) – A serious hit-and-run incident occurred in Queens Village, Queens, late this evening, leaving one pedestrian with severe injuries. The accident took place near the intersection of 212th Place and Jamaica Avenue, where a pedestrian was struck by an unidentified car. Emergency services arrived swiftly, transporting the injured individual to a nearby hospital. While the extent of the injuries has not been fully disclosed, initial reports suggest that the victim’s condition may be critical, raising concerns about their survival.

Witnesses at the scene reported that the driver involved in the collision fled, making this a hit-and-run case. The exact details surrounding the cause of the accident remain unclear, though some speculate that a woman present at the scene may have been involved in striking the pedestrian. The authorities are currently investigating the incident, and the area around Jamaica Avenue has been partially closed off to traffic to facilitate their efforts. A blue vehicle, seen by witnesses near the accident, was reportedly on the scene when the collision occurred, and it is unclear whether the driver of this car had any involvement.

As the investigation progresses, police are working to gather further details from witnesses and any available surveillance footage to identify the suspect responsible for the hit-and-run. 

We hope everyone harmed by this crash makes a timely recovery.
