Guyanese man killed in New York hit-and-run

(NEW YORK DAILY NEWS) Two pedestrians were killed in separate incidents less than an hour apart in Queens early Sunday, one by a drunken livery driver and the other in a hit-and-run, police said.

Rohan Singh was crossing Liberty Ave. near 108th St. at about 3:15 a.m. in Ozone Park after leaving a bar when a driver plowed into him and kept going, police sources said.

Singh, 47, a construction worker who sends money back to his wife and teenage sons in his native Guyana, was taken to Jamaica Hospital, where he died.

Cops are looking for a black Nissan Maxima with front-end damage, sources said.

Singh’s family broke the news to Chanrooytie Arjun, his frail 70-year-old mother Sunday.

“That was her Mother’s Day gift,” said the victim’s devastated brother, Chateran Singh, 45. “She burst into tears.”

Arjun had planned on celebrating Mother’s Day with a meal of baked lamb with her children. Instead she wept on the couch as her three surviving children tried to console her.

“Of all her kids, she loved him a lot,” said Chateran Singh. “Whoever hit him, they should have come forward.”
