NEW YORK (AP) - Police say a woman was fatally injured when she was struck by a tow truck in Queens and the driver has been charged.

Authorities say a tow truck making a left turn hit 70-year-old Donna Hahl, of Valley Stream, as she attempted to cross a street. It happened around 2:30 p.m. Friday in Jamaica.

Hahl was taken to Jamaica Hospital, where she died from her injuries.



The driver, 29-year-old Mandip Singh, of Richmond Hill, has been charged with right of way violations and failure to exercise due care. It wasn’t immediately known if he is represented by a lawyer who can comment on the charges.
