Nathan and Raizy Glauber, both 21, were riding in a livery cab in Brooklyn. Another car, a BMW, crashed into the cab at an intersection, slamming into its side yesterday.
The two occupants of the BMW fled the scene on foot and are being sought by police. The driver of the cab, was taken to the hospital and is in stable condition, police said.
The Glaubers were soon pronounced dead at two different hospitals, police spokesman Sgt Tom Antonetti was quoted by CNN as saying.
At the time of the crash, the couple were on the way to Long Island College Hospital "for a wellness check," said Officer Sophia Tassy-Mason, a spokeswoman for the New York City Police Department.
