A pedestrian and a bicyclist are killed in two hit-and-run incidents in Manhattan and the Bronx.
Videos from the Citizen App show images of both accidents.
The first took place Wednesday night at the intersection of East 122nd Street and Third Avenue in East Harlem.
A 62-year-old man was crossing the street when he was struck by the driver of a hit-and-run gray SUV.
The victim, identified as Oscar Nievesshe was transported to Harlem Hospital where she was certified dead.
Hours later, around midnight, a 64-year-old cyclist identified as Hua Pan, was run over by the driver of a white pick-up truck that also did not remain in the place.
The event took place on Williamsbridge Road with Pierce Avenue in the Morris Park sector.
The victim was transported to Jacobi Hospital in critical condition and hours later died of his injuries.
In neither case have there been any arrests.
The organization Transportation Alternatives referred to these latest deaths from traffic accidents, revealing that 54 New Yorkers have died so far this year from such accidents.
“This crisis demands action from our leaders now. We know what works to prevent accidents and save lives in New York City. Yet the State Assembly is preventing New York City from using life-saving tools like lowering speed limits to keep New Yorkers safe,” said Danny Harris, CEO.
“Now is not the time for politics – we need to pass Sammy’s Law and get Vision Zero back on track in New York City,” added Harris. “Every day, every hour counts. Albany must act now to save lives in all five counties.
