Police say 66-year-old old John Giordano was crossing the road at the intersection with a stroller filled with ice bags when he was hit by an SUV.
He was then hit a second time by another vehicle and pinned underneath.
The victim was rushed to the hospital in extremely critical condition.
Police said Tzul-Cano, who was driving a grey Acura TL, did not stop.
Earlier this year, the intersection of Rt. 129 and Lalor was deemed one of the deadliest in the entire nation based on the Fang Law Group's analysis of National Highway Traffic Safety Administration data.
Crossing guards are in place to protect pedestrians from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. But a guard was hit and killed at the intersection in 2016.
In the very same spot, on August 29, 2020, 35-year-old Celso Rivera was struck and killed after exiting a cab at the intersection. The driver was never found.
