Hit-and-run driver slays 7-year-old
BY KEVIN DUGGAN
Police arrested a woman who allegedly
killed a 7-year-old-boy and injured his mother
during a hit-and-run crash in East New York
on Thursday morning.
The 48-year-old driver was heading eastbound
in her gray Jeep Cherokee on Blake Avenue
around 8:15 am and made a right turn on
Pennsylvania Avenue and hit Payson Lott —
who was in the crosswalk with his 39-year-old
mother, according to police.

First responders rushed both victims to
Brookdale Hospital where the boy died of his
injuries, but his mother survived and is in
stable condition, according to the authorities.
The driver remained at the scene and police
arrested her just after 11 am on two charges of
failing to yield to pedestrians and failing to exercise
due care, as well as driving with a suspended
license — but later released her with
an order to return to court, according to a Police
Department spokeswoman.
The suspect’s license had been suspended
because she failed to respond to three previous
summonses, according to the spokeswoman,
who couldn’t immediately confi rm what those
summonses were for.
The tragedy comes just two days after a
school bus operator fatally struck 10-yearold
Patience Albert less than two miles away
at Crescent Street near Wortman Avenue on
Tuesday.
