Police Seek Driver After SUV Jumps Curb, Hits Couple on Brooklyn Porch

The 60-year-old man and 59-year-old woman who were pinned against the wall were critically injured, but are expected to survive

Police are looking for the driver of an SUV that jumped a curb, plowed through a steel gate and into a Brooklyn porch early Sunday evening, pinning a couple who had been sitting on the stoop against the house.

Authorities say the driver, who was not the registered owner of the vehicle, fled on foot after the accident on Hinsdale Street in East New York.

The 60-year-old man and 59-year-old woman who were pinned against the wall were taken to the hospital with critical injuries, primarily to their lower bodies. 

Both are expected to survive.
