Family of Queens hit-and-run victim calls on driver to surrender
JAMAICA, Queens (WABC) -- The family of a Queens hit-and-run victim is coming forward to call on the driver to surrender.
Police say the victim, identified as 47-year-old Lucia Grant was crossing North Conduit Avenue around 6 a.m. Saturday. The driver kept going.
Grant's family says she was living temporarily in Queens because her Bronx apartment was damaged by a fire.
Grant's family is pleading for more information surrounding the details of her death.
"I need justice for my mom, I need to know what car hit her, who was in the car, why she got hit, where was going, anything, any answers anything anybody got. Because I'm pretty sure she contacted somebody that early in the morning because that doesn't make sense to me," a family member said.
Police told family members Grant didn't have an ID on her at the time she was hit while crossing the street.
"They said she didn't have an ID, that's weird to me because my mom walks with a bag and ID all the time," a family member said.
They are now trying to raise money for her funeral with a GoFundMe.
I feel like it's a brutal hit on her, for somebody to just hit her top part and not her bottom part that's something brutal. I don't think it's a hit and run," a family member said.
