A Brooklyn woman doing nothing but walking near her Midwood home was struck and killed on Sunday night after a speeding driver ran a red light and crashed into another car that went careening into the victim, police said.
The officer, who was directing traffic to the Queens-Midtown Tunnel at around 7 a.m., provided a textbook example of NYPD personnel escalating a situation.
