Man hit and killed on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn – NBC New York

According to police, a man was killed after being struck by the side of a van and then struck again by an SUV driver while crossing a street in Brooklyn.

The driver of the van was driving eastbound on Atlantic Avenue past Bedford Avenue in Crown Heights around 9:15 p.m. Sunday when he struck a pedestrian who had veered off the sidewalk into the right lane, police said. The van’s passenger-side mirror struck the man, throwing him to the ground and causing him to be run over by the van.

Immediately afterward, the man was struck by a 2012 Acura MDX driven by a 72-year-old woman. Both the driver of the van and the driver of the SUV remained at the scene of the accident.

Emergency services responded and pronounced the man dead at the scene. The victim has not yet been identified and family needs to be notified.

No arrests were made and it was unclear if charges would be filed. An investigation by the NYPD’s Collision Investigation Division is ongoing.
