For the second time in less than thirty-six hours, a city teenager was struck by a hit-and-run driver. 16-year-old Robert Ogle was fatally hit at Eliot Avenue and 80th Street in the Middle Village section of Queens at around 1:30 a.m. this morning. The car had been stolen while parked in front of a nearby deli. Police picked up the driver, a 27-year-old man, at Dry Harbor Road and Woodhaven Boulevard not far from the scene of the crime. They believe that he may have been drunk. Ogle was pronounced dead at the scene. A second victim, a 20-year-old man is in critical condition at Elmhurst Hospital. On Friday afternoon, two brothers were injured by a car that jumped the curb in Bed-Stuy.
