RIP Monica Chan. Woman Killed By Van- Ovington & 7th Avenue
Around 11:30 am this morning, Monica Chan, a 67-year-old woman in our community was struck by a van on 7th Avenue and Ovington Avenue. (See video)
See video
She was unconscious and taken to NYU Langone, but has died.
The driver made the left on 7th Avenue and hit the woman. The 60-year-old driver of the van stayed on the scene. (Source)
We knew she was seriously hurt because the police have the area taped off like a crime scene, (usually the ambulance comes and there is no tape.)
AMNY shared this information: “There have been 15 crashes at that intersection over the past 11 years injuring 25 people, including 18 who were in cars, four on foot, and another three cyclists, according to city data.” (Source)
RIP Monica Chan. Prayers for her family.
