Crossing Delancey is a dangerous game.
Early Tuesday morning, the driver of an SUV struck and killed a man crossing the thoroughfare by the Bowery. Apparently, the pedestrian had been crossing the street at 3:40am, when a westbound 2001 Nissan Pathfinder changed lanes before colliding with the victim.
The driver – coincidentally, another 52-year-old man – remained at the scene. There were no immediate charges filed.
