A Middle Village woman died on Sunday after succumbing to her injuries from being struck by an SUV last month, police said in a release this morning.

Eashwari Reddy, 76, was attempting to cross the street at the intersection of Woodhaven Boulevard and 62nd Road on Jan. 10 when she was hit by a 2011 Toyota SUV headed southbound on the boulevard at around 6:20 p.m., police said.

The 44-year-old driver remained on the scene.

When officers from the 104th Precinct arrived, Reddy was found in critical condition with trauma to her head and torso. She was transported by EMS to Elmhurst Hospital Center.

The investigation remains ongoing and no charges have been filed against the driver.
