A 66-year-old man dashing across the street outside his Queens apartment building has died after being struck by an SUV driver, police said Sunday.
Anthony Lardo was running across 41st Ave. near 147th St. in Flushing about 8:50 p.m. Friday when a 68-year-old man driving a Toyota Highlander hit him, cops said.
Medics rushed Lardo, who lived on the block, to New York-Presbyterian Queens Hospital, where he later died, cops said.
The driver stayed at the scene and has not been charged as cops continue to investigate.
Lardo was struck less than 16 hours after another deadly vehicle-on-pedestrian crash in Queens.
Darryl Younger was about to start his early-morning shift as a school lunch loader and handler around 4:40 a.m. Friday when a passing BMW SUV plowed into him near the corner of Jackson and 50th Aves. in Long Island City, police and co-workers said.
The BMW driver fled the scene and medics took the 58-year-old Younger to New York-Presbyterian Hospital Weill Cornell. He could not be saved.
And about 6 a.m. Saturday a 47-year-old man crossing Second Ave. near E. 82nd St. on the Upper East Side was struck by a truck driver, Cops said.
Medics rushed that victim to New York-Presbyterian Hospital Weill Cornell in cardiac arrest. The truck driver stayed at the scene and faced no immediate charges.
