According to 1010 WINS:

"Cops were on the lookout for a driver who fled the scene of a fiery crash early Sunday in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn.

The driver of a taxi involved in the accident was found dead at the scene, police said. Investigators couldn't immediately identify the body because it had been "burned beyond recognition," a police source told the Daily News.

The fatal crash started when a blue Dodge Caravan traveling on 65th Street smashed into the taxi sending both vehicles careening in opposite directions, slamming into parked cars and knocking down a tree, police said.

Both vehicles then burst into flames. A total of three vehicles were completely gutted by the fire.

"There was a very loud explosion...huge!" neighborhood resident Paul Jizewski, 24, told the Daily News. "I kept hearing more popping after that. I came outside and there were three cars on fire."

The driver fled the scene on foot, and investigators are looking for help from any witnesses who could provide information.  If you or someone you love has been harmed in a hit-and-run crash in New York, you need the help of New York personal injury lawyers who have years of experience in successfully fighting for the rights of the injured.  Contact Fitzgerald & Fitzgerald today to schedule a free initial consultation.
