An 84-year-old man was killed yesterday when he drove the wrong way onto the Belt Parkway in Brooklyn and smashed into another vehicle, authorities said.
The man and his 82-year-old wife were in a 1992 Toyota when it entered the parkway at the Erskine Street exit in East New York at 2:05 p.m. and started heading westbound in the eastbound lanes, cops said.
Soon after, the Toyota collided with an eastbound 2008 Ford sedan being driven by a 55-year-old man, according to authorities.
The elderly driver was dead on arrival at Brookdale Hospital. His wife and the driver of the Ford were in stable condition at Jamaica Hospital.
Their identities were not released.
