Woman crashes car, hands baby to bystander before fleeing
A female motorist crashed in Queens on Wednesday night and then handed her infant passenger to a bystander before fleeing on foot, law enforcement sources said.
“I’m going to jail, take the baby,” the woman said, according to a witness.
The woman first hit a white SUV near 101st Avenue and Woodhaven Boulevard before she blew a red light and crashed again — around the corner, into a stop sign and fence outside of Elizabeth Blackwell Middle School at about 6:40 p.m., a male witness said.
The driver then got out of her car and handed a year-old girl to a female bystander, along with a note with the name and phone number of the tyke’s father, cops and a witness said.
The woman, who is still at large, left a shoe behind as she bolted away on foot.
The little girl was taken to a local hospital for observation, police said.
