Last night a new location got added to the list of the Bay Ridge Gore Tour due to a fatal hit and run that took the life of our former dentist.

Dr. Harry Lewner left his office on 4th Avenue at 79th Street (bottom two windows on the right) and was crossing 4th Avenue near 79th or 80th Street at around 9:15PM where he was struck by a car going northbound.  After being flung through the air he was then hit by a car from the southbound side and was pronounced dead on the scene — his body fell to a final location just out of the above photo on the bottom right — a massive frozen blood stain, pieces of car and a black scarf or other piece of clothing were still nearby and are too eerie for us to publish.

The first driver left the scene while the second driver stopped.  Guess who is getting charged with a crime — FIRST DRIVER!!!

We’re surprised that more fatal accidents like this don’t happen more often in Bay Ridge since pedestrians cross the street as if it’s a game of Frogger and drivers here tend to be extremely aggressive and drive like maniacs most of the time — speeding, crazy out of the blue U-turns, double & triple parking, crossing the double yellow all the time, running red lights, blowing through stop signs, driving without headlights on and driving with broken headlights.

It’s seriously as if most of the drivers in Bay Ridge act as if they are in a real life version of a Grand Theft Auto game and the 68th Precinct doesn’t appear to do much of anything about it — in fact they are sometimes the culprits of the crazy driving during non-emergency situations.

R.I.P. Dr. Lewner and thank you for that good shot of Novocaine and the laughing gas when we were in lots of pain and informed that we had to do a root canal ASAP.
