A “devastated” Queens neighborhood was in mourning the day after a 7-year-old girl was tragically struck and killed by an SUV in Woodside.
Residents called for a stop light at the intersection of Newtown Road and 46th Street, where the child was fatally hit Friday by a Ford Explorer, cops said.
“I’ve seen the little girl with her mother going to school and coming home from [an] afterschool program every day. It’s always she and her mother,” neighbor Gladys Garcia, 60, told The Post. “The police officer put [the girl] in the car and took her straight to the hospital. They didn’t even wait for an ambulance,” the manager added.The child had been in the street when the SUV hit her, according to police, but it’s not clear whether she was at the intersection or had the right of way.The driver stayed at the scene. No arrests were made, and police said no criminality is suspected.
“They just speed through there because it’s a main street to a highway,” she said, adding, “It’s very sad, heartbreaking. I feel for the family. It’s a great tragedy, especially a 7-year-old who was just beginning life.”“It’s frustrating. I probably made like four requests to 311 for speed bumps and traffic lights,” said one neighbor who gave his name as Daniel and said he saw the child “on her stomach, and her mother standing over her crying.”“It makes me mad. A little girl has to die.
