Treyger demands city punish trash company after driver kills woman
As police continued their search for the private sanitation truck driver who struck and killed a 67-year-old woman in a hit-and-run incident at 86th Street and Bay Parkway early Thursday morning, Councilmember Mark Treyger called on the city to strip the company employing the deadly motorist of its license.
“We’re here to demand justice,” said Treyger, who held a press conference Friday morning on the corner of 86th Street and Bay Parkway just steps from where 67-year-old Deborah Mutell was mowed down while crossing the street.
The driver hit the victim and kept going, police said.
