82-year-old woman fatally hit by van just feet from her home
A elderly woman was fatally struck by a van as she tried to cross Pitman Avenue in The Bronx Friday night — and the driver fled the scene on foot, police said.
Hilda Arocho, 82, had been crossing the avenue mid-block in Wakefield — just feet from her own front door — when she was struck at 9:11 p.m., police said. She was pronounced dead at Jacobi Hospital.
The driver was being sought by NYPD.
