A woman has died after she was struck by a car in a hit-and-run incident in Queens on Saturday morning**,** police said.
The 31-year-old woman, whose identity has not been released pending family notification, was struck by a white sedan shortly before 3 a.m. on Saturday near 120th Street and 97th Avenue in Richmond Hill, according to police.
She was taken to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center and pronounced dead on arrival just after 3 a.m., police said. Officials confirmed the woman was struck intentionally.
Police are still searching for the driver, who continued to flee northbound on 120th Street after the collision.
At around the same time, police were responding to a call of a large group fighting at 120th Street and 95th Avenue, near the site of the collision. A dispute at the nearby Showtime Bar & Lounge had spilled out into the street, leaving four men with stab or slash wounds, police said.
Two of the men, both 40 years old, were treated for slash wounds to their faces at Queens Hospital Center, according to police. Police also said the men had been struck by a vehicle believed to be the same white sedan involved in the hit-and-run. Police have not linked the driver of the car to the slashings.
There have been no arrests and the investigation remains ongoing.
This is a developing story.
