A Bronx man has been charged in connection with a deadly hit-and-run that killed a tourist and injured another in Midtown Manhattan, according to police. 

NYPD said a married couple visiting New York from Germany was crossing at East 40th Street and Fifth Avenue on Wednesday afternoon when a minivan driver reversed at a high rate of speed and pinned them against a box truck. 

The driver did not stay at the scene, police said. The minivan was blocking the crosswalk at the intersection and the husband and wife had the right of way, according to police.  

A woman, 50, died at the scene. Police identified her as Alexandra Sabine Lewalter Maric of Hamburg. Her husband, 55, suffered a fractured skull and was hospitalized in stable condition. The man's name was not immediately released. 

The FDNY said a third person suffered minor injuries. It was not immediately clear if that victim has any connection to the couple.

Suspect found blocks from crash scene, NYPD says

Police identified the hit-and-run suspect as 40-year-old Mohamed Abouzaid, of the Bronx. 

Officers initially stopped him at West 38th Street and Eighth Avenue and took him into custody for questioning on Wednesday, police sources told CBS News New York.

Abouzaid was later charged with leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death and failing to yield to pedestrians.

Houssain Coly works at a street stand where the crash happened at around 3 p.m.

"People ... have to be patient, you know. You never know where an accident is going to be," he said. "It's very sad. People come to enjoy the city, to see New York, obviously vacation, and these things happen."

The crash remains under investigation.
