Bronx, N.Y : Bronx driver leaves passenger dead and two in critical condition after causing four-car crash in Allerton Thursday night, January 5, 2017

A hit-and-run driver left one of his passengers to die in a mangled car after causing a chain-reaction crash in the Bronx Thursday night, police said.

The callous motorist had four passengers in with him when he veered a Toyota Camry into oncoming traffic on Boston Road near Wallace Ave. in Allerton at about 9:10 p.m., cops said.

The driver slammed into a minivan and damaged two other cars, witnesses said.

He bolted, and remains at large. His passengers had to be extricated from the twisted wreckage by firefighters.

One passenger, a 21-year-old man sitting in the back seat, was rushed to Jacobi Medical Center, where he died.

Two more were hospitalized in critical condition, while another was in serious but stable condition, FDNY officials said. The minivan driver also went to Jacobi, cops said.
