NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- The NYPD is investigating after a man was fatally struck while crossing a street on Friday, according to police.
At approximately 9 p.m., police responded to a 911 call of a motor vehicle collision involving a pedestrian struck on 41st Avenue in the vicinity of 147th Street in Flushing, authorities said.
Upon arrival, officers observed 66-year-old Anthony Lardo lying on the roadway with head and body trauma.
