They just kept driving around him,” witness Vivian Rolon said to the New York Daily News. “A lady who got out was standing over him, feeling his neck. He still had a pulse. It was terrible, a nightmare. I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep after this.” A preliminary investigation determined that a gray SUV heading north on Madison Avenue struck Costa, according to police, who added that the driver fled the scene.
