A woman was killed by a hit-and-run driver in Brooklyn Wednesday evening.
Officials say the 60-year-old victim Elizabeth Perez was crossing the street with her dog in Bensonhurst at 63rd Street and Dahill Road near her home at around 10:30 p.m.
The driver, identified as 24-year-old Yerlin Garcia, struck the woman and tried to flee, but was arrested about an hour later not far from the scene.
