Fatal hit-and-run crash
The NYPD said detectives have a so-called person of interest they are looking for in connection with a fatal hit-and-run crash in Queens.
NEW YORK - A woman has died after being pinned under a car during a hit-and-run in Queens.
Home surveillance video shows a white truck striking a parked car several times near 120th Avenue and 167th Street in South Jamaica, Queens on Sunday at about 8:33 a.m.
Three people come out onto the street to confront the truck's driver, who then speeds away, striking a 2017 Chevrolet Equinox and sending it into the trio, including a 49-year-old woman who was pinned beneath the SUV and 2021 Dodge Charger.

Ngwu — a mother of four and a nursing assistant — was hospitalized at Jamaica Hospital. She later died, authorities said. She worked at Silver Crest Nursing Home in Briarwood Queens for 16 years.
