In Staten Island, police were able to arrest a man that was connected to a deadly hit and run accident.  The accident led to the death of a 47 year old woman.

According to police, David Lozan was behind the wheel of a black four door sedan that hit the victim while she was pulled over.  The victim had stopped her vehicle and was checking on a mechanical problem when she was struck on the corner of Targee Street and Laurel Avenue.

Before the hit and run, a good Samaritan saw the woman in distress and had pulled over his jeep to help her.  Moments later, Lozano tried to squeeze between the two parked vehicles and hit the victim's car, the victim and the car that belonged to the 23 year old Samaritan. 

After hitting the woman, Lozano sped north and was later apprehended by police who charged him with DUI and leaving the scene of an accident.

A pedestrian was killed when he was struck by a driver who then fled the scene in Fort Myers. The Fort Myers Police are searching for the driver that killed 27-year-old Joshua Pollock. It is unclear whether Pollock was attempting to cross the street or if he was walking down the middle of SR-82 near Omni Lane.

Pollock was struck by two cars around 11:20pm. The first car that struck Pollock fled the scene. The second tried to swerve to avoid Pollock but hit him, reports say. The driver of the second car stayed on the scene with Pollock until Emergency Medical Services arrived. Pollock was transported by EMS to Lee Memorial Hospital where he died. Any information that may lead to the identity of the driver who fled the scene is being sought by Fort Myers Police.
