A Queens driver was arrested and
charged in connection with a motor
vehicle collision that led to the death of
a pedestrian in Maspeth Friday night.
Police responded to a call regarding
a pedestrian struck in the vicinity of
58th Road and the Queens Midtown
Expressway just before 5:30 p.m. on Jan.
10. Upon arriving at the scene, offi cers
discovered 68-year-old Queens resident
Yulan Lu lying on the road with trauma
to her head and body, EMS arrived
and transported Lu to NYC Health &
Hospitals/Elmhurst, where she was
pronounced dead.
An investigation by the NYPD Highway
District’s Collision Investigation
Squad found that 33-year-old George
Guzman was traveling in the right
lane of the east bound Queens Midtown
Expressway in a white 2020 Chevrolet
Express van.
Guzman attempted to make a right
turn onto 58th Road when he struck Lu,
who was crossing the street from west
to east in the marked crosswalk. Upon
impact, Lu was thrown to the road
before getting struck by the vehicle a
second time, according to authorities.
Guzman remained at the scene and
was taken into custody. Police charged
Guzman later Friday night with failure
to yield to a pedestrian and failure to
use due care (causing serious injury).
