‘You Don't Drive Away Like That': 74-Year-Old Woman Killed In Brooklyn Hit-And-Run Erica Byfield A late night hit-and-run in Brooklyn ended with the death of a 74-year-old woman. Maureen Fraser's family desperately wants answers as to what happened as people from the neighborhood are wondering if speed was a factor. “I would say she was one of the most intelligent in the family or right up there," Maureen's younger brother, Gordon Fraser, said. Gordon Fraser woke up to the news overnight right around the time police had East 80th Street near Avenue N blocked off. Detectives say the mother of one, who is originally from Ghana and is the oldest of nine siblings, was trying to cross the street Wednesday around 11:19 p.m. when the driver of a white van hit her and kept going.
