Hit-run death of Brooklyn mother ruled a homicide
Briefly

The case of a 71-year-old mother who died after she and her daughter were hit by a driver who ran from the crash scene in Brooklyn last week has been ruled a homicide, the NYPD says.
Vidal and her 44-year-old daughter were walking near Eldert Street and Knickerbocker Avenue in Bushwick around 5 p.m. last Thursday when a blue SUV sped through the intersection, hitting the two women as it swerved to avoid a red car in its path.
After striking the women, the driver jumped out of the SUV and ran toward the Halsey Street subway station, police said.
