CITY ISLAND BRIDGE, NY
A 27-year-old woman died after she was struck by a hit-and-run driver while riding a bicycle across City Island Bridge Friday night, authorities said.
According to police, the woman was heading west on the bridge just before midnight, when she was hit by a white Hyundai sedan. The driver fled the scene of the crash.
The woman was rushed to a nearby hospital where she was pronounced dead, officials said. Her identity has yet to be released pending family notification.
No arrests have been made and an investigation is ongoing.
Driving at midnight in that difficult roadway it is almost the same as seeking to be killed. Drivers drive like maniacs there. Hopefully they will catch the guy who fled the scene - and then he will regret that he/she left the victim.
