Hit-And-Run Accident Leaves Injured Woman Fighting For Her Life
A 91-year-old woman is fighting for her life after her legs were cut off in a hit-and-run accident at about 10:30 A.M. in the Bronx. A truck hit her and kept going; there are also reports that a car may have struck her after the truck and also taken off.
The gruesome occurrence took place at E. Gun Hill Road and DeKalb Avenue, while Anna Rogovin was crossing the street. Rogovin, who walked very slowly and used a cane, was likely going to the Mosholu Montefiore Community Center, which serves lunch and has programs for senior citizens.
She served as a U.S. Navy WAVE (Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service) in World War II.
Rogovin was taken to St. Barnabas Hospital after the accident and was in critical condition from her injury.
