Police are turning to the public after a daytime hit-and-run in the Olinville/Williamsbridge section of the Bronx left a 29-year-old woman on an electric scooter with minor injuries. The collision happened on June 6, 2026, near Burke Avenue and Cruger Avenue. Officers later tracked down a vehicle, but say the driver took off and never stuck around. Detectives now have a photo of a person of interest and are working through witness tips.
What police say
According to Norwood News, the NYPD says the crash happened around 11:20 a.m. on Saturday, June 6, when a gray Toyota RAV4 hit the scooter rider. Police told the outlet the RAV4 then took off and was later found unoccupied at East Gun Hill Road and White Plains Road. The still-unidentified driver was last seen, officers say, hopping on a westbound BX-39 bus heading toward Webster Avenue.
Victim and hospital
The 29-year-old scooter operator suffered minor injuries and was taken in stable condition to NYC Health + Hospitals/Jacobi. The facility lists emergency and trauma services on its site, per NYC Health + Hospitals/Jacobi.

Local context
