88-Year-Old Pedestrian Hit By Car, Killed In Brooklyn Crosswalk

SHEEPSHEAD BAY, BROOKLYN — An 88-year-old man was hit and killed by a car in Brooklyn late Tuesday night, police said, just a day after cars in the borough killed at least two pedestrians and a cyclist.

On Tuesday, just before 9:30 p.m., the man was trying to cross Ocean Parkway at Avenue X against the traffic signal, police said. A 28-year-old driving a 2013 Honda Civic heading north on Ocean Parkway hit him, police said.

Authorities found the 88-year-old man, identified as Feliks Dadiomov in the street with "severe head and facial trauma," police said. He was taken to Coney Island Hospital and pronounced dead.

The driver stayed on scene, an NYPD spokesman told Patch, and was not arrested.

The man is the seventh NYC pedestrian to be killed in 2017 so far. On Monday, at least three men were hit and killed by cars across Brooklyn, including one in Sheepshead Bay.
