The victim, 38-year-old Jennifer Tolliver, passed away on Monday afternoon. The incident occurred March 28 in the area of West 145th Street and Malcolm X Boulevard just after 8 a.m. Police said Tolliver and her 6-year-old son were walking when they were struck by a Toyota Camry that jumped the curb and went onto the sidewalk.
