Driver runs from mangled Brooklyn hit-and-run that killed 1, hurt 3: NYPD

Investigators were in Brooklyn overnight checking out the scene of a mangled car wreck, one that caused the death of at least one person and hospitalized three others.

The crash happened on Irving Avenue in Bushwick, according to police, when a KIA Sportage and Toyota Yaris collided around 1 a.m. Monday. The force of the crash appeared to total both vehicles.

Police said there were four people inside the Toyota; one person died at the scene and a second had critical injuries. The two other passengers were hurt and taken to the hospital.

A search was underway Monday morning for the occupants of the KIA. It wasn’t entirely clear how many people were wanted by police, and there was no suspect description to go off of.

The area had been closed off for several hours for the police investigation. The scene was ultimately cleared by the morning.

The police investigation is ongoing.
