A 74-year-old Queens woman was struck by a vehicle on Lakeville Road in Lake Success on Thursday and later died at an area hospital, police said.
The woman, who had not been identified as of Wednesday, was struck while walking along Lakeville Road near Farm Lane, outside the Fresh Meadow County Club at 255 Lakeville Road, between about 10 a.m. and 11 a.m., police said. She was taken to North Shore Hospital in Manhasset according to Newsday and pronounced dead at 11:18 a.m
Detective James Skopek, a sergeant with the county police homicide squad, said police believe a W.B. Mason truck was involved in the accident.
Lake Success police stopped a W.B. Mason truck on East Shore Road a short distance from where the woman was hit, after getting the license plate number and a description of the vehicle from a witness, police said.
Skopek said Investigators spoke to the driver of the W.B. Mason truck, who was making a delivery in the area. The truck was later impounded, police said.
The driver acknowledged he was in the area, Skopek said.
He said the police do not believe the woman was hit intentionally and no charges have been filed against the W.B. Mason driver. The investigation is ongoing as of Wednesday, police said.
