A 27-year-old man who put three people in the hospital after a July 21 pedestrian accident in Brooklyn is now facing charges. The victims suffered injuries after the 27-year-old allegedly struck them while driving a minivan in reverse.
The injured victims were standing on the corner of 11th Avenue and 56th Street when the accident occurred.
The victims, two adults and a six-year-old child, all required hospitalization. The 27-year-old man quickly left the scene of the crash, but police were able to identify him thanks to surveillance video of the crash.
The hit-and-run driver now faces charges that include:
- Reckless endangerment
- Leaving the scene of an accident
- Unsafe backing of a vehicle

All too often, pedestrians suffer serious injuries in car accidents. There are laws in place that protect pedestrians, but many drivers fail to follow them.
They drive distracted or intoxicated, speed, refuse to yield, or simply fail to look before moving their car. When a driver behaves negligently, and a pedestrian gets hurt, the pedestrian deserves compensation. Unfortunately, obtaining compensation can be difficult.
