Woman in Crosswalk Struck, Killed by Spinning Car in Brooklyn

A pedestrian in a crosswalk was killed when she was struck by a car that spun out of control after it collided with another car in Brooklyn, police said.

The 63-year-old woman was in the crosswalk on Avenue N at Coney Island Avenue Saturday afternoon when a Ford Fiesta, driven by a 29-year-old man, struck a Mitsubishi SUV in the intersection.

Police say both cars began to spin, and the Ford hit the pedestrian.

The spinning cars kept going and hit a third car.

None of the drivers were hurt.
