QUEENS — An 84-year-old man died from injuries a day after he was struck by a van as he tried to cross the street in Jamaica, police said.

Ahmed was unconscious when he was rushed to Jamaica Hospital. He succumbed to his injuries Wednesday, police said.

The 32-year-old driver remained at the scene and was issued a summons, police said.
