A pedestrian was killed following a collision between the moving truck and another car.
Police said a man was struck and killed in a hit-and-run crash in Queens early Tuesday, and they’re searching for the driver and passenger of a U-Haul that fled the scene.
NYPD officials said the deadly collision happened just after midnight in Flushing, when a Honda Accord heading southbound on Kissena Boulevard collided with a U-Haul going westbound on the Horace Harding Expressway. Police weren’t immediately sure what caused the crash, but said a 56-year-old pedestrian was hit as a result. First responders pronounced him dead at the scene, officials said. His identity has not been released.
The 42-year-old driver of the Honda Accord was taken to NewYork-Presbyterian Queens Hospital in stable condition, while the U-Haul driver and passenger fled, according to police.
