An MTA bus driver struck and killed a 69-year-old Queens women on Sunday in a Forest Hills crosswalk. According to an NYPD release, at around 7:40 a.m. on Sunday, Leyla Enukasvili was crossing Kessel Street from north to south at the intersection of 71st Avenue. An MTA bus operator was driving north on 71st Avenue on the Q23 route, when he turned left and "struck the pedestrian who was within the crosswalk," the release states. The driver, a 52-year-old man, remained at the scene. A police spokesperson said he passed a Breathalyzer test and had a valid license. Enukasvili, who lived a little under a mile away on Queens Boulevard, was pronounced dead at Jamaica Hospital later that day.
