An 81-year-old man who was getting into his parked car in Middle Village, Queens was struck by a vehicle yesterday at 11AM. The car did not stop and passersby chased the van, yelling for the driver to stop. Finally, the car was stopped by another vehicle and one of the men, Anthony Causi, told the Post, "I ran up to the door and yelled at her, 'Did you see what you just did?'" to which the driver, 29-year-old Diana Toro, yelled, "What? What? I didn't do anything." Causi added that it looked like she was on the phone or listening to an iPod.
The two other men held Toro until police came. The victim, Franz Fuerch, was bleeding and unconscious; he later died at Elmhurst hospital. His son, FDNY deputy chief Richard Fuerch, was demoted recently in the wake of the Deutsche Bank fire investigation.
Toro was charged with vehicular manslaughter, DWI, and leaving the scene of a deadly accident; additionally, she did not have a valid license. Fuerch's widow told the Daily News, "We had a long life together. We have three children and four grandchildren."

"Finally, the car was stopped another vehicle ..."
Good work, Jen.
It seems as if pretty much every day someone is killed by a car in this city.
I hope that stupid girl gets everything thats coming to her. Lock 'er up man, we can't have people like this reproducing...
Driving drunk while talking on her phone and didn't realize she hit someone? Maybe there's a reason you're not supposed to drive when you don't have a license.
Toro was charged with vehicular manslaughter, DWI, and leaving the scene of a deadly accident; additionally, she did not have a valid license. His widow told the Daily News, "We had a long life together. We have three children and four grandchildren."
Whose widow? Assume you mean the gentleman who was struck down, but his name should be repeated in this paragraph.
What a lowlife scumbag. They should just take her out back and execute hwer and save the world a bit of trouble.
DWI at 11 a.m.??? Who the hell drinks that early in the morning? And on her way to either pick up or drop off her kids! Stupid bitch.
