Brooklyn Hit-and-Run Leaves One Dead, One Facing Charges


One man died and another is facing charges after a hit-and-run accident in Brooklyn Saturday.


Police say 32-year-old Bryan Loughran was found unconscious on Gerritsen Avenue around 2:45 a.m.


Police say the driver—51-year-old Michael Casale—fled the scene, but was later arrested at his house.


The cause of the accident is still under investigation, but neighbors NY1 talked to say drivers frequently speed on the street.


“Since I was a kid, you know, there were people who run up and down this street with no regard for anyone or anything. You know? So it’s sad, yet not surprising that something tragic like this has happened,” said area resident Joe Pena.


Casale is facing charges of leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death and aggravated unlicensed operation.
