Hit & Run & Cry

From Saturday's Daily News, the story of a 20-year-old St. John's student whose car rammed into a tree on the LIE, killing her and two other passengers. They were hit by another car that fled the scene. Eventually, the other driver surrendered to the police.

I spent nine hours in the Bronx yesterday with the girl's family as they were notified by the police and after they identified her body. When her mother was told what happened, she made one of those human shrieks of pain you just never want to hear.

Some stories are more indelible than newsprint.
