A 31-year-old man is battling for his life after a harrowing hit-and-run incident in East Williamsburg in the early hours of Sunday. The NYPD responded to the distressing scene at the intersection of Vandervoort Avenue and Maspeth Avenue just after the stroke of midnight, where they found the victim with severe head injuries, as reported by ABC7NY. The man is said to have been attempting to enter a double-parked vehicle before he was hit.
First responders rushed the critically injured man to the hospital, where he remains in a tenacious fight for survival. In a report by Brooklyn News 12, the authorities indicated that the car involved was traveling northbound on Vandervoort Avenue when the accident occurred. Despite the severity of the crash and the man's condition, the driver responsible for the collision fled the scene and has yet to be apprehended. No arrests have been made, and the police have not provided a description of the offending vehicle.
As the investigation unfolds, law enforcement is scouring for evidence and witness statements to piece together the events that led to this tragic event. The NYPD's search for the driver is ongoing, with an appeal to the public for any information that could lead to an arrest.
