She was struck by a westbound car and the driver fled the scene, police said. Hossain was taken to North Shore University Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

Queens Boulevard has long been known as the “boulevard of death” due to the high number of pedestrians being fatally struck while crossing the road.
