Tragedy struck Flatbush, Brooklyn this week when Noah Foxman, an active member in the local Jewish community was struck first by one driver and then killed by a second hit-and-run driver. The suspect has yet to be found.
Mr. Foxman, 58, was crossing Coney Island Avenue and Avenue K in Midwood at 10 pm on Thursday, January 26. A gray van hit him in the middle of the intersection, where he lay. The van remained on the scene, where Foxman was conscious and alert, telling witnesses to call emergency services. However, while he remained on the ground in the rain, a second SUV ran him over and fled the scene without stopping.
Flatbush Hatzolah, the ambulance service, arrived soon and rushed Mr. Foxman to Coney Island Hospital, where he was pronounced dead in a matter of minutes.
The second car has been variously described as a dark-colored or light-colored sedan, although later reports give the latter description. Police claim not to have surveillance video and are asking for help finding the hit-and-run driver. They are making it clear, as are witnesses, that it was possible the second driver simply did not know he/she had struck Mr. Foxman.
Noah Foxman was a father of three and an active member at his local yeshiva. Hundreds paid their respects on Friday, variously describing him as always happy and helpful, without ever a nasty word to say about anyone.
