Queens, NY – Woman Critically Injured at Cross Bay Blvd & Pitkin Ave

Queens, NY (August 29, 2024) – On the morning of Thursday, a serious traffic accident occurred in the Ozone Park neighborhood of Queens, leaving a woman in critical condition. The incident took place at approximately 3:35 a.m. at the intersection of Cross Bay Boulevard and Pitkin Avenue, a location known for its bustling traffic flow, even during the early hours. 

The 55-year-old woman was struck by a vehicle while attempting to cross the street. Emergency responders quickly arrived at the scene and rushed her to Jamaica Hospital, where she remains in critical condition. The driver involved in the incident remained on the scene following the collision. Initially, there was some speculation that a second vehicle might have been involved in the accident, potentially striking the woman after the initial impact. However, after a thorough examination of the evidence, investigators determined that this was not the case. 

During the investigation, it was discovered that the driver was operating the vehicle without a valid license. As a result, the driver was issued two desk appearance tickets for driving without a license. These tickets require the driver to appear in court at a later date to address the violations. As of now, the identity of the injured woman has not been released to the public, and her condition remains a matter of grave concern. 

Our thoughts are with the injured victim as we hope for a full recovery.
