Boy killed, younger sister injured after collision on Lenox Avenue – NBC New York

A 3-year-old boy was killed and his younger sister injured after they were hit by a car while crossing the street with their mother in Harlem, police said.

The driver was traveling on West 135th Street around 7:30 p.m. Thursday and attempted to turn left onto Lenox Avenue – just as the family was crossing the street, police said. A mother was traveling with her son, 2-year-old daughter and 4-month-old daughter when the Nissan struck two of the children.

The two older children were struck by the car, while the mother and other child were not hit, police said. The 40-year-old driver immediately stopped and took the boy to Harlem Hospital across the street, police said. The mother also took her 2-year-old to the hospital.

The boy was pronounced dead in hospital, police said. The daughter suffered minor injuries and is expected to recover soon.

The mother, the four-month-old child and the driver were not injured. No charges have been filed at this time. The investigation is ongoing.
