The woman suffered severe injuries to her head and body, which ultimately proved fatal. Emergency responders were dispatched to the scene, but sadly, the young woman lost her life en route to medical treatment.
Police responded swiftly to a 911 call about the incident and are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the crash. As of now, no arrests have been made. The NYPD is reviewing the available evidence in hopes of identifying the vehicle's owner and driver.

I'm so sorry to hear about this young woman who lost her life in a senseless accident 
It's just devastating to think that she was crossing the street and everything changed in an instant 
My heart goes out to her loved ones and friends, may they find strength during this incredibly tough time 
Fingers crossed for a positive outcome! 
... Can you believe it just happened on Friday morning?! The NYPD is investigating, but I feel bad that they're not able to catch the driver yet... Like what was going through their mind, huh? It's so frustrating when these things happen, especially in areas with low traffic fatalities. 
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they can figure out who it was and hold them accountable... 73rd Precinct is already grieving 
. I mean, who does that? Flees the scene like it's no big deal? It's not like they have to worry about getting caught or anything... until now, apparently.
. I'm sure it'll be a real challenge to track down someone who's apparently not worth pursuing.
. But honestly, accidents like this one make you wonder if we're just waiting for that one fateful day when things go wrong... and they do 
. I feel like there are too many people on the streets, especially in areas with heavy foot traffic, and we need to be more careful. 
Everyone should be aware of their surroundings, keep an eye out for cars, and make sure they cross the street safely. 
The fact that the driver fled the scene is just terrifying... it's like, what if someone else was hurt? 
. we gotta stay vigilant and look out for each other on the streets 
. My heart goes out to her family and loved ones. We need to make sure that everyone is held accountable for their actions on our roads. I'm keeping a silent prayer for this woman, may she rest in peace 
just saw this news about the woman who got hit by a car on Pitkin Avenue in Brooklyn and my heart is breaking 
. by the way, let's all take a deep breath and focus on self-care right now... meditation, anyone? 
. It's a harsh reality that even with declining traffic fatalities in NYC, accidents can still happen & be so devastating 
anyway, the NYPD is doing their thing & reviewing the evidence, hoping to bring justice to this family 
anywayz the police gotta catch whoever that driver was and make sure they pay 4 their actions 
.
. anyway, my thoughts are with the victim's family and loved ones 
. police are doing their thing but at this point i feel like it's just a numbers game - how many lives gotta be lost before someone takes responsibility? 73rd precinct area is already dealing with a lot of issues, this just feels like another punch to the gut
