A 56 year-old woman in a motorized scooter was struck and killed on a busy Brooklyn thoroughfare early Wednesday, police said.
The woman, whose name was not immediately released, was trying to cross Eastern Parkway from south to north at the intersection of Utica Ave. when she was hit by an eastbound 2000 Ford Crown Victoria. The woman was rushed to Kings County Hospital but could not be saved.
The driver of the car remained on the scene and was interviewed by police but was not been charged with a crime.
The victim’s scooter was thrown about 20 feet from the point of impact and lay in pieces near a pool of blood in the right eastbound lane of Eastern Parkway Wednesday morning. The sedan had heavy front-end damage and came to a stop about 15 feet past the crosswalk at Utica Ave.
