A 32-year-old pregnant woman was struck and dragged to her death by an SUV after getting into a late-night Brooklyn fender bender with the hit-and-run driver — who remains on the loose, police said Sunday.
The tragic motorist, identified by police as Tiffany Cisuni, allegedly got out of her 2021 Toyota 4Runner to check for damage after a minor collision with a 2016 Chevy Trax at Van Buren Street and Marcus Garvey Boulevard shortly before midnight Saturday, according to police.
That’s when cops said the driver of the Trax gunned it and struck Cisuni from behind, dragging her before speeding away against traffic on Lafayette Avenue, a one-way street, an NYPD spokesperson said.
But the driver’s rampage wasn’t done — police said the Chevy struck a parked Volkswagen SUV while trying to get away, and then slammed into a 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a 38-year-old woman behind the wheel.
The crazed driver then got out and fled on foot, leaving behind the Chevy, which had temporary plates.
Police responded to the scene following a 911 call and found Cisuni, of Long Island, unresponsive.
She was taken to Kings County Hospital, where she was pronounced dead, police said.
Her heartbroken in-laws told ABC7 that Cisuni was in her first trimester of pregnancy and had shared the news with them that she and her husband James were expecting their first child just two weeks ago.
The mom-to-be was coming home from the Beyoncé concert at MetLife Stadium when she was killed, according to the outlet.
The driver of the Grand Cherokee was not seriously injured in that crash.
The driver of the Chevy Trax remains on the loose, according to police.
