The other pedestrian, also 46-years-old, was in critical condition, the NYDaily News reported.

Police said that the 30-year-old driver of the Honda Accord remained at the scene and the Department’s Highway Collision Investigation Squad is investigating.

The driver – and his pregnant wife who was sitting in the passenger seat – were both not injured, according to the NYDaily News.
