MANHATTAN — Disabled grandmother Ilia Lopez died in East Harlem after a hit-and-run driver struck her at E. 121st St. and Second Ave., according to the New York Daily News.
The driver sped for two more blocks with Lopez's mortally wounded body still resting on his car's hood after the accident at 4 a.m. Friday, the Daily News reported.
"The way he hit her, you could never hear her scream," witness Marilyn Baretto told the Daily News. "It was a crash like two cars hit."
Lopez, who lived in the Bronx and was limping toward a methadone clinic at the time of the crash, was pronounced dead by doctors at Harlem Hospital, according to the Daily News.
She leaves behind three adult children, according to the Daily News.
"I'd like to get behind the wheel and do to him what he did to my wife," Lopez's husband, Juan Rojas, told the Daily News. "She was a good woman, a good mother and a good wife."
