Yesterday afternoon, a 73-year-old man driving a Lexus SUV struck a woman who was pushing her 6-month-old son in a stroller on Broadway near 37th Street in Astoria, Queens. The Daily News reports that the vehicle "shot down the sidewalk like a pinball... It blazed a trail of destruction for about half a block before it mowed the woman down from behind - sending her son and the stroller hurtling through the air."

The driver allegedly told the cops his brakes failed and wasn't charged or given a summons; a police source said, "It's just an accident." more ›
