A 29-year-old woman trying to cross a Brooklyn street Tuesday morning was killed when she hit by a driver, then by a school bus, authorities say.
Police say the woman, Hermanda Booker, was found lying in the road near Kings Highway and Nostrand Avenue shortly before 7 a.m.
They say she was hit by a white SUV as she tried to cross Nostrand Avenue, and then a school bus making a left turn onto Nostrand Avenue from Kings Highway also hit the woman.
The woman was taken to a hospital, where she died.
No arrests have been made. Police initially said the white SUV fled the scene, but later said that investigators determined the driver stayed at the scene.
According to her social media accounts, Boorker was a special education educator. Neighbors said she was a sweet woman.
Sam Mikhli, a pharmacist at the local drugstore, said, "She was a great customer, always walked in with a smile. We knew the family for years and it really is just hard."
"I just can't imagine, it's so horrible, a young girl like that," said Madeline Lore.
