From the 71st comes a story almost too horrific to share. But here goes. Directly from Vinnie, because I can't even bear to write it:
Today, March 16, 2014 at approximately 9PM a 5 year old boy was struck by a vehicle on Empire Blvd. between Nostrand to Rogers Avenue. The child was rushed to Kings County Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries. The accident is currently under investigation by the NYPD Highway Accident Investigation Unit. Please remember the family in your thoughts and prayers.
