A 66-year-old man crossing a Harlem street was fatally struck by an SUV driver who fled the scene, police said Monday.
The victim was walking downtown on Fifth Ave. when he struck by the driver of a Toyota RAV4 with TLC plates zipping west on 135th St. at about 9:10 p.m. Sunday, cops said.
The victim was rushed to Harlem Hospital, where he died about 20 minutes later. His name was not immediately released.
The driver sped off and has not been caught.
The death came the day after a minivan driver fleeing an NYPD car stop in the same neighborhood fatally struck a bicyclist and drove off.
That driver was behind the wheel of a Toyota minivan when cops tried to pull him over at W. 152nd St. and Broadway at about 10:40 p.m. Saturday, police said.
He sped east to W. 155th St. and St. Nicholas Ave., where he plowed into a man riding a bike and kept going, cops said.
The bicyclist died at the scene. Cops were still working to identify him Monday.
That driver is also still being sought by cops.
