Brooklyn Runner

A runner was killed in that terrible accident I passed by yesterday at the corner of Atlantic Avenue and Vanderbilt Avenue in Fort Greene, according to news reports. The most detailed I could find is from the NY Post police blotter dated 4 a.m. Aug. 4:

A jogger was fatally struck by a car that spun out of control after being hit by another vehicle in Fort Greene yesterday.

The accident occurred at about 3:30 p.m., when a Cadillac, whose driver was turning on to Vanderbilt Avenue from Atlantic Avenue, plowed into an Acura.

The Acura then spun around, striking the unidentified, 27-year-old jogger, who died at Brooklyn Hospital.

The Acura driver was in stable condition; the Caddy driver suffered minor injuries. Neither was charged.

I wish I knew more about what happened and who the person was.
