Two pedestrians were killed when a hit-and-run driver plowed into them in Brooklyn early Monday, authorities said.
The victims, identified as Delman Maldonado, 41, and Israel Turcios, 56, stepped into the roadway at Fulton Street near Chestnut Street in Cypress Hills when the speeding driver hit them shortly after midnight.
The driver, in an Acura TL sedan, then slammed into several parked cars before coming to rest underneath the elevated subway track. The driver then got out and fled the scene on foot, cops said.
