A Queens driver was arrested and

night.
Police responded to a call regarding
a pedestrian struck in the vicinity of
58th Road and the Queens Midtown

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

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

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).
