A hit-and-run captured on camera sent a grandmother and her young grandson to the
hospital on
Monday in Pelham Gardens.
Video footage captured the moment a 62-year-old woman and a 2-year-old were struck by a car. The woman in
the video could be seen stopping before
walking across the crosswalk.
Authorities say she had the right of way and was starting to cross on
Mace Avenue and Eastchester Road around 2:20 p.m. when a man driving a red GMC
Terrain turned left and hit the woman with the stroller knocking them to the
floor.
They say the man driving the GMC pulled over and appeared to
check on the victims before getting back into his car and leaving the scene.
Police say the 63-year-old woman and the 2-year-old boy were taken to
the hospital in stable condition. The toddler suffered a head contusion.
Detectives are looking to question the man behind the
wheel. Anyone with information is asked to call crime stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
