Man Killed In Brutal Flushing Hit-and-Run

2009_07_flushinghitnrun.jpg A fatal hit-and-run accident in Flushing left the victim's body in such bad shape, authorities had to obtain dental records to identify that it was 30-year-old Matthew Kim. Kim had returned to his Flushing home earlier Thursday night after going out for drinks with friends—the Post says that he was helping console a friend who had just recently lost his mother. Kim, a former architecture student who now worked in construction and taught Sunday school, was nearly decapitated after being hit by a driver making a U-turn while walking on 149th place. A person walking their dog at 3:30 a.m. spotted his body and told the News, "I couldn't imagine any human being leaving someone like that."
