Update: Westchester Woman Was Enroute to Work When She Was Struck Crossing King Street in Greenwich

Update: 4:18 p.m.

The identity of the 51-year-old Elmsford, NY woman who was struck and killed by a car as she crossed King Street is expected to be released on Wednesday, according to Greenwich Police.

The woman, identified as a housekeeper enroute with a co-worker to their jobs at a Greenwich home, was hit by a Mitsubishi Eclipse that was being driven northbound on King Street at the intersection of Anderson Hill Road about 7 a.m. Tuesday, according to police spokesman Lt. Kraig Gray. The driver, identified as a man from New York State, was not injured, Gray said.

Neither the driver nor the victim’s co-worker were injured, Gray said.

The women had disembarked a Westchester County Bee-Line bus and were crossing the road when the crash occurred. Gray said that investigators are withholding the victim’s identity so that her family can notify extended family who live out of the country. He did not know her native country.

Traffic Technician Roger Drenth is heading the investigation which prompted a closure of the road during the morning commute Tuesday. It did not appear weather was a factor as it was not snowing at the time, Gray said.

Police are seeking witnesses to the crash and ask that they contact Drenth at 203-622-8014, Gray said.
