The group of pedestrians was crossing 80th Street by Northern Boulevard in Jackson Heights just before 2 a.m. Sunday. Seconds later, as the victims tried to get their bearings, the driver took off on foot down 80th Street, never pausing to see if the victims needed help.
Police have arrested the driver who they say plowed a BMW into a group of pedestrians in Queens after fleeing from police.
A few blocks later, the same car was stopped in East Elmhurst. This time, authorities reported that the driver tried to escape. Officials insist there was no high-speed chase, but told Eyewitness News that the driver was erratic on the roads. The three pedestrians were then struck, with police cruisers arriving right after the accident.
