Churchgoer is hit by SUV

An 81-year-old woman was struck by an SUV while stepping out of church in Queens Sunday morning, leaving her critically injured, cops said.

The victim was crossing 32nd Ave. outside St. Paul Chong Hasang Catholic Church in Flushing when a Mercedes-Benz SUV making a left turn off Parsons Blvd. hit her about 8 a.m., police said.

Medics rushed the woman to New York-Presbyterian Hospital Queens in critical condition. Her name was not released.

Churchgoers were shocked to see police tape stretching across their block as they came out of Mass.

“I’d see her usually after the 8 o’clock Mass down in the basement for coffee and bagels,” said the Rev. Joe Veneroso. The victim only spoke Italian and he never learned her name.

Cops said the SUV driver, 54, remained at the scene and faced no immediate charges.
