A 63-year-old Bedford Park woman died Sunday after being hit by an out-of-control car while walking on the grassy divider in the middle of Mosholu Parkway — a field where a large group of children were playing football just a day earlier.

Cops and paramedics were called to the parkway at 3:45 p.m., on Sunday, March 17, to find the victim, Bedford Park resident Sook-Ja Kim, suffering from life-threatening injuries after apparently being hit from behind.

Emergency Medical Services reported that Kim suffered “severe trauma to the chest,” and was transported to St. Barnabas Hospital, where she later died.

Police officials said a 22-year-old Hispanic male was driving a 1997 Honda Accord that was traveling southbound on Mosholu Parkway “when it entered the park area and struck the victim.”

NYPD spokesman Detective Joseph Capitolo said, “There were no summonses issued and no arrests, but we’re still investigating.”

Numerous sources report that the driver was taken to the 52nd Precinct for questioning before he was transported and evaluated at a local hospital.

One witness, a 26-year-old local resident who would only give his first name, Roberto, said he was traveling with his family, including a young child, when the accident took place.

After showing an investigator where the unidentified driver turned into oncoming traffic at Van Cortlandt Avenue East and then into the grassy median, Roberto said, “You would think you’re safe crossing in the middle of the parkway, but that’s the way the world is, it’s messed up like that.”

Roberto and police sources said investigators thought the driver may have suffered a seizure, causing him to lose control of his car.

A second witness, Norwood resident and single dad Marcelino Hernandez, said, “I saw the car cross the highway and driving in the wrong direction. He was going like 100 miles-per-hour, yes. The guy was sick or something was wrong with the young driver.”

About a month ago, near the exact same spot around Bainbridge Avenue, an Access-a-Ride van transporting patients to a local hospital crashed, but no one was injured. A little more than a year ago, a teacher named Justin Bravo crashed his motorcycle on the parkway just a few blocks away underneath the Jerome Avenue overpass.

“I cross here all the time with my kids,” Hernandez said about the parkway. “It’s not safe. You’re not supposed to play there. Nobody should be there. This roadway is very dangerous.”

Kim lived on Bedford Park Boulevard, just a few blocks from where she died. Neighbors say Kim was a kind woman who worked at a nail salon and had lived in the area for more than a decade.

At press time, Kim’s family was said to be finalizing plans to fly in from South Korea to prepare her funeral arrangements.
