Paramedics rushed him to Jacobi hospital in critical condition.
A victim of one of the accidents.Peter Gerber Witnesses at the scene said the victim had been involved in a dispute with the driver shortly before the collision.
Less than two hours later and one block away at E. 155th Street and Prospect Avenue, a woman was injured after being struck by black Chevrolet SUV, according to officials and witnesses.
This driver remained on the scene, but ended up in a heated scuffle with the victim’s male companion, witnesses said.
