Owner found by NYPD of SUV that struck former child star Kianna Underwood in fatal Brooklyn hit-run

"Police seized his vehicle, a black 2021 Ford Explorer, and are examining surveillance footage to determine if the owner was driving when Underwood was struck in Brownsville Friday morning or if someone else was behind the wheel. No charges were immediately filed. Police are also still looking for the driver of the other vehicle, a sedan, that then struck 33-year-old Underwoood, dragging her more than two blocks."

"The former Nickelodeon star was crossing at Pitkin Ave. and Mother Gaston Blvd. in the crosswalk but against the light when she was struck by the SUV driver. The driver was heading west on Pitkin Ave. and had the green light but veered across the double yellow line to pass another vehicle and wound up striking Underwood, police say. Video obtained by police shows the driver going against traffic and striking Underwood then disappearing from the video frame without slowing down, sources said."

"Underwood was struck moments later by the driver of a black-and-gray sedan, with Underwood then dragged for more than two blocks before her lifeless body came loose from the car. That driver also did not stop. The grisly incident laid bare Underwood's tragic fall from grace - from a kind and talented young girl who appeared on Nickelodeon's "All That" to an adult who had fallen on hard times."
