SUV plows into stroller carrying 2-year-old boy, drives away
Police are now looking for the driver, who left the scene.
As CBS2’s Jenna DeAngelis reported Tuesday, the woman was crossing Eastchester Road when the vehicle turned the corner, striking the stroller.
Police said the driver actually got out and looked around, but then left and it was all captured on video.
Surveillance video shows a 62-year-old woman in a purple hat pushing the stroller. She makes it about halfway across the crosswalk when a red SUV turning from Mace Avenue hits the stroller carrying her 2-year-old grandson. The impact took both victims down.
New York City Sheriff s deputies shut down an illegal club in Queens early Sunday.
The toddler was treated for a cut to his head, while his grandmother suffered a bruised leg but refused medical attention.
The boy s father provided Eyewitness News with a picture of his son s injuries. He didn t make any attempt to stop and try to do the right thing, like any other human being would ve done, Erlon Kola said. And I m just really shocked and obviously disappointed by that, but in the meantime, I m just glad my son is still here with me, so that s all that matters.
