An elderly couple was hit by a car in Sunset Park last night. Reports said that the couple was dropped off outside their senior citizen residence on 9th Avenue at 53rd Street when a golden four-door sedan struck them.
Seventy-three-year-old Raiza Burman was pronounced dead while her husband is in critical condition with head injuries and a broken leg. A neighbor said, "They were always together. They're beautiful people. I'm hurting."
Police are looking for the driver and the car, which has damage on the passenger side (call 800-577-TIPS with informatioN). And, every week, Streetsblog presents a grim post: A compilation of list of vehicle-related deaths and injuries.




Please, for the love of G/d, please copy edit your posts.

Hey Rosemary,
You must be the stupidest, most F***ing idiotic and insensitive human being alive.
Why are you commenting on their financial status your Racist SOB.
I hope you choke any any more sarcastic comments made in the future and can only hope that when your life is taken from you, praying it will happen soon, that no one will remember you and your small intellect.
