104 PRECINCT BLOTTER
Wednesday, Feb. 9, according to authorities.
According to NYPD reports, the young girl, identifi ed as Davina Afokoba, was
struck by a driver on Beach Channel Drive and lived just minutes away on Pinson
Street.
On Feb. 9 around 4:13 p.m., police from the 101st Precinct responded to a 911
call about a car that had crashed into a pedestrian at Beach Channel Drive. Upon
arrival, cops found that a 34-year-old woman driving a 2009 Mazda CX9 had
struck two pedestrians who were walking on the sidewalk.
The New York Post reported that the driver only had her learner’s permit and
sped up while making a turn at the busy intersection before striking a nearby
building.
Police said that Afokoba was pinned against the building at the site of the crash.
EMS personnel responded and pronounced her dead on the scene.
A second pedestrian, a 33-year-old woman, was taken to Jamaica Hospital
Medical Center in stable condition.
The 34-year-old driver remained on the scene and was also reportedly taken
to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center in stable condition.
“It is gut-wrenching to see a child lose her life at such a young age, with such a
bright future ahead of her,” said Queens Borough President Donovan Richards Jr.
“The deepest condolences of our entire borough go to Davina’s family and friends
during this unimaginably diffi cult time. There is nothing more imperative than
street safety, let us double down on our eff orts to prevent another horrifi c tragedy
like this from striking another community.”
No arrests have been made and the investigation into the case remains ongoing.
