Officials reported early Wednesday that Jum Sim Yim had been struck by a vehicle while crossing a Queens, New York, intersection in the early morning. Yim was reportedly on her way home from attending her daily early morning church services when she was found in the street unconscious, just a block away from her house. A search was issued to locate the culprit using surveillance footage, with pleas from Yim’s adult children begging for the culprit to step forward, reported ABC 7 NY.

“She was a very kind, sweet, caring, considerate, strong and faithful person,” her daughter Mimi Yim tearfully remarked to interviewers.

She added, “Imagine your mother or your grandmother or any special person laying on that floor: what would you do?”

“I just want peace…and understanding,” continued her son, Jae Yim.

Min eventually went home and told her husband about the “weird feeling” she’d had about the incident, but did not go to police.

“I got to work and heard about a pedestrian who was coming into the emergency room. I then learned that the pedestrian was hit on Parsons Blvd. and 32nd Ave.,” she said, according to a criminal complaint. “I remembered the bump and the thing that got stuck under my car. I had a weird feeling all day that it might have been the pedestrian.”

Her charges include leaving the scene of an accident, operating a motor vehicle with failure to yield to a pedestrian, and failure to exercise due care, reported PIX 11.
