‘Turn yourself in,’ Brooklyn pols urge cowardly hit-and-run drivers
In a somber gathering in Greenpoint on Tuesday at the site of one of last weekend’s two brutal hit-and-run deaths in Brooklyn, Councilmembers Ydanis Rodriguez, Stephen Levin and Mark Treyger called for the two cowardly drivers to turn themselves in — before the police get to them.
“My colleagues and I will not rest, will not stop until justice is served,” Treyger, who represents the Gravesend district, where one of the victims lived, told reporters.
“There are numerous businesses along this [Franklin Avenue, Greenpoint] stretch,” Levin said. “There’s no doubt in my mind that we will be able to see video evidence that will show what [garbage] company it was and some ID on that truck. “
The councilmembers were joined by Paul Steely White, executive director of Transportation Alternatives, who noted that one of the victims was simply trying to ride home on his bicycle.
