An elderly woman was hit by a truck in Midtown Manhattan on Tuesday morning and died later from her injuries, according to the police.
The police were searching for the driver of the truck, who fled the scene.
The 69-year-old woman, whose name was not immediately released pending notification of her family, was crossing 41st Street shortly after 10 a.m. when she was hit by the truck, which was making a right turn from Ninth Avenue.
The woman was taken to St. Luke’s Roosevelt Hospital Center, where she was pronounced dead.
