3-yr-old Boy in East Flatbush Car Accident Dies: Police

Denim McLein, the 3-year-old who was hurt when a car jumped the curb last Saturday in East Flatbush, has died from his injuries, confirmed police.

The little boy and his mother, Wendy McLein, were hospitalized and listed in critical condition, after a Lincoln sedan driving northbound suddenly swerved from the street onto the sidewalk, barreling into a crowd of people who were waiting at a bus stop on the corner of Utica and Church avenues.

Ten other people, including the driver and a passenger, were injured.

Initial reports said that Denim was likely brain-dead and his mother was in a semi-coma. And over the past week, the McLein family and the Bed-Stuy community has mourned the accident victims and sent prayers and well wishes.

Sources confirmed Denim died Thursday morning. Wendy, a well-known Bed-Stuy business owner, is still hospitalized.
