From the NY Post

December 25, 2007 -- A hit-and-run driver ran down two women in Chelsea last night, seriously injuring them, authorities said.

The victims were struck in the intersection of West 17th Street and Eighth Avenue at 10:25 p.m., and they were rushed to St. Vincent's Hospital.

The driver of the silver car fled the scene, police said, but witnesses jotted down the license plate and called 911.

A car matching eyewitness accounts was pulled over at West 31st Street and Eighth Avenue, where cops questioned the driver.

The victims' names were withheld pending family notification

apparently due to this hit and run mva, a state legislator covering this part of Manhattan introducing legislation increasing hit and run criminal penalities as I heard on the radio.

One patient was critical, conscious and panicking. The doctors tubed her and I am not sure why. She seemed to be keeping her airway on her own.

The otherpatient was calm but had very serious injuries. We had a trauma team waiting for both women.
