A 66-year-old man died on Sunday after getting hit by an SUV driver on Staten Island a week earlier, the NYPD announced on Wednesday.
\nCops say they responded to a 911 call of the man \u2014 whom they identified as Staten Island resident Jean Victorin \u2014 getting struck on South Avenue near Forest Avenue within the NYPD\u2019s 121st Precinct at 1:54 p.m. on Jan. 4.
\nAccording to an investigation by the NYPD Highway District\u2019s Collision Investigation Squad, Victorin was hit by the 22-year-old male driver of a 2014 Audi Q5 heading southbound on South Avenue, while crossing South Avenue in the middle of the block.<\/p>\n
Victorin was rushed by emergency services personnel to Richmond University Hospital with what was determined at the time to be a non-life-threatening head injury.
