Brooklyn, NY : Woman in wheelchair killed after being hit by SUV in Brooklyn on Sunday, 23rd July 2023

A woman in a wheelchair was killed after an SUV hit her as she crossed the street in Brooklyn.

It happened Sunday at 1:30 p.m. at the corner of McDonald Ave and Webster Ave. in Kensington. Investigators are now trying to piece together the details.

The 68-year-old woman, later identified as Joyce Greenberg, was struck at the intersection and was rushed to Maimonides Hospital where she was pronounced dead.

Authorities say the 73-year-old driver of a Lexus stayed at the scene. The driver's sister, Maureen Sardinha, says she was sitting in the front passenger seat.

"I'm a retired nurse. I didn't even know if I should start CPR, because the police kept saying 'do not touch her, do not touch her,'" Sardinha said.
