Hit-and-run truck driver kills Brooklyn pedestrian
A pedestrian was killed Wednesday in a chain-reaction crash in Brooklyn caused by a hit-and-run FedEx truck driver, police sources said.
The victim was crossing Caton Ave. at Coney Island Ave. in Windsor Terrace around 9:20 p.m. when the driver of a FedEx truck slammed into the back of a red Kia Forte sedan, cops and sources said.
The force of the crash sent the Kia barreling toward the man, who was in the crosswalk.
He ended up pinned underneath the sedan.
The truck driver, who police sources say was speeding, took off.
FedEx did not immediately answer a Daily News request for comment.
Medics rushed the injured pedestrian to an area hospital, but he could not be saved.
The driver of the sedan remained on the scene and did not immediately face charges.
Police were still searching for the driver of FedEx truck late Wednesday night.
