Bensonhurst resident Cristina Alonso, 38, died yesterday evening after being hit by a car on 86th Street and 14th Avenue.

Alonso was crossing 14th Avenue “outside of the crosswalk” just after 7pm Monday when a red 2002 Ford Explorer traveling south on the avenue hit her, police said.

The woman, who lives on 17th Avenue near 66th Street, was rushed to Lutheran Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

The driver, an unidentified 33-year-old man, remained on the scene and was not immediately charged with wrongdoing, though the investigation is ongoing.
