A hit-and-run in the heart of Midtown Manhattan<\/a> Wednesday has left one person dead and another hospitalized, police have confirmed.<\/p>\n

“EMS responded and pronounced a 50-year-old female deceased on the scene,” NYPD confirmed.<\/p>\n

“A 55-year-old male was transported to Bellevue Hospital in stable condition. The vehicle did not remain on scene,” they stated.<\/p>\n
