 The driver responsible for the tragic incident has been arrested after fatally striking a 10-year-old girl in a Brooklyn crosswalk. 

The incident occurred at an intersection in Williamsburg around 2:40 p.m. on Tuesday. According to reports, the driver, Isaac Karczag, was operating a silver Buick and allegedly veered into an oncoming lane while turning against the light. The young victim, Yitty Wertzberger, was in the crosswalk with the walk light when she was knocked to the ground and run over by the vehicle. Despite efforts to save her, Yitty succumbed to her injuries.

 Witnesses at the scene described the immediate response, with one person using their jacket to stem the bleeding. Yitty was only about three blocks away from home when the tragic accident occurred. The driver now faces charges including failure to yield to a pedestrian, disobeying a traffic device, and failure to exercise due care. Yitty’s community mourns the loss of a young life, as her father is a teacher in their school
