Authorities say resident Maurita Aubrazy-Federico 42, was waiting to cross the intersection of Burnside Avenue and Franklin Street in the Wellington Heights section of town, when a vehicle struck her at about 10:00 p.m.
“She was just standing at the sidewalk waiting for the light and the car swerved over the curb and ran her down,” said Nicholaus Leibius, who was waiting to cross the dangerous intersection on the other side. “It was horrible and the driver did it on purpose. You could see them laughing as they did it.”
Aubrazy-Federico was rushed to Grady-Sloan Memorial Hospital, where she died.
Police say there have been no arrests in the case but an investigation is underway.
