Double Hit and Run Accidents in Queens, Manhattan

Good morning, two pedestrians died in separate hit-and-run accidents last night, adding to a mini-wave of crash-and-dash fatalities this week. The first horrible incident took place on the so-called Boulevard of Death—Queens Boulevard—in Forest Hills around 9 p.m. An unidentified woman in her mid-20s was hit by a car at the intersection and was pronounced DOA at Elmhurst Hospital; police tell CBS 2 they have no description of the vehicle. Just an hour later, in Hell's Kitchen, a second unidentified woman in her mid-50s was struck by a car at the intersection of 40th Street and 9th Avenue. Again, she was pronounced DOA at St. Vincent's, and cops have no description of the vehicle. And police are still searching for the driver of a dark colored van that killed 71-year-old Virginia Montalvo in Woodhaven Monday night; she was out on her nightly stroll collecting recyclables to raise money to charity when she died.
