New York, June 24, (THAINDIAN NEWS) An elderly nun was killed after being struck by a car in which two suspects were fleeing the police. The car slammed into the 83 year old nun while she was crossing the street.
Four people were also injured in the tragic accident. The nun’s aide were among the people injured due to the accident in which the fleeing Chrysler Pacifica slammed into a Honda Odyssey and started doing a tailspin. Witnesses said that the scene was like an explosion and the victims were thrown into the air.
The two suspects inside the car fled the scene after the crash. The car was earlier stopped by police after the passengers and the vehicles matched the description of a wanted armed-robbery suspect.
The driver had surrendered but the two other criminals fled with the car and went on for nearly 18 blocks at the busy New York neighborhood of Harlem before crashing into the minivan. The police said that they were not chasing the car but witnesses have revealed that they saw an unmarked police car trailing by during the crash.
Sister Mary Celine Graham was heading for a physical therapy session with her health aide when she was struck by the car. She was declared dead after she was immediately rushed to a nearby medical facility.
Witnesses found her bent cane beside her after the crash and said that the scene was horrible. Four other people were admitted to the hospital after the crash and one person is said to be in a critical condition with leg and neck injuries.
