On Friday, January 6, at approximately 12:45 a.m., “police responded to a 911 call of a motor vehicle collision involving a pedestrian struck on the Henry Hudson Parkway* in the vicinity of West 96 Street,” according to an alert from the NYPD Highway District’s Collision Investigation Squad (CIS). “Upon arrival, officers observed an unidentified adult male pedestrian, unconscious and unresponsive, lying on the roadway. EMS responded to the location and transported the [man] to Mount Sinai Morningside Hospital, where he was pronounced deceased. Further investigation by [CIS] determined the man was walking on the Henry Hudson Parkway, attempting to cross the roadway from west to east, when he was struck by at least two vehicles, one of which fled the location. The operator of the vehicle that remained, a 2008 Chrysler Town and County, was not injured. There are no arrests and the investigation remains ongoing. The identity of the deceased is pending a family notification.”

*The Henry Hudson Parkway is an extension of the West Side Highway. It starts at 72nd Street and runs along the west side of Manhattan, crosses the Henry Hudson Bridge, then continues through the Bronx until the border of Westchester County, where it connects to the Saw Mill Parkway, according to the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation.

I’m very sad for the driver who struck the pedestrian and stuck around. That must have been very traumatic and there was likely nothing they could do, and they did the responsible thing by sticking around. I feel less for the person who left. I have no idea why someone was walking across a major highway.

Very sad.

I feel bad for both the person struck regardless of the reason they were crossing the highway and the driver who stayed on the scene. Not so much for the driver who left; very wrong from the perspective of the law and simple civility and humanity.

This is sort of like those “person struck by a train” announcements on the MTA app. Sad for all.

Poor guy – why was he in such a situation, having to cross the highway? Hope they can get the driver who sped away.

The strange thing is, it’s easy to walk under the highway at 96th street, so why was the man crossing above where the cars are?
