Update: Woman Hit On Coney Island Ave. Last Week Should Be OK, Driver Trying To Escape TLC

Just a brief note on the woman who was hit by a car on Coney Island Ave. near Albemarle Rd. last Wednesday, for neighbors who expressed concern:

A spokesman for the NYPD says the driver was a professional actually trying to outrun the Taxi & Limousine Commission after being caught violating their rules, not outrunning the police as previously thought. He confirmed that the driver had been placed under arrest, and that the woman hit was expected to recover.

We’re so glad it sounds like the victim will be okay, and we wish her a speedy recovery.
