TWO YOUNG WOMEN MOWED DOWN BY HIT-AND-RUN DRIVER IN BROOKLYN

From: New York attorney Gary E. Rosenberg (personal injury and accident attorney and lawyer; serving Brooklyn Queens Bronx; Bronx injury lawyer)

Erinn Phelan, age 22, and her former college roommate, Alma Guerrero, age 23, were
struck by a hit-and-run driver in Brooklyn on Sunday, February 21, 2010 at around 4:30 AM.

A green Acura Legend took off and left the two women laying in the roadway. The damaged Acura was found by police abandoned near Brooklyn's Atlantic Avenue Terminal. The driver - described as a female whose description fit that of the vehicle's owner - had fled, possibly by train.

The young women were taken to Brooklyn's Kings County Hospital, where Phelan was declared brain dead from her injuries. Guerrero was in stable condition at Kings County Hospital Sunday. Family and friends gathered of both young women assembled in the hospital.

Phelan was hired last year by Mayor Bloomberg's administration to help run New York City's new Civic Corps. Modeled on the Peace Corps, it sends young people to local organizations to help them encourage volunteerism.

Police Investigators were checking the Acura for fingerprints and searching area surveillance camera video for an image of the driver.
