A hit-and-run driver struck and critically injured a woman jogging in Prospect Park at around 5 a.m. this morning. The 51-year-old woman was running on the West Drive just north of the tennis courts when the driver of a black vehicle hit her from behind, according to police.
Since July 17, all of Prospect Park has been continuously off-limits to private car traffic for the longest time in generations, since the loop was first allowed to become a shortcut for motorized traffic. Why not keep it that way?
