A 66-year-old woman suffered a fractured hip and other injuries when an SUV rammed into her as she crossed an Upper East Side street Monday evening, cops and witnesses said.
The victim was crossing First Avenue around 7 p.m. when the grey 2006 Nissan Armada — which was heading east on East 84th Street, then north on First Avenue — hit her, cops said. She was taken to NewYork Presbyterian Hospital in critical condition, though she is expected to survive, according to police.
Besides the hip fracture, the woman also suffered injuries to her face, cops said.
Ray Robboo, 24, who works at the Basic Plus hardware store across from the scene said he saw the woman’s legs and arms, and she didn’t seem to be responsive.
“There was a little girl screaming her head off on the corner, freaking out,” Robboo said. “She definitely wasn’t with the victim.”
The driver remained on scene, cops said.
“The gentleman who stepped out of the car was freaking,” Robboo added. “He looked like he wanted to move the car to try to help her… but people were telling him not to move the car.”
A shoe and a pair of glasses remained in the roadway.
