The heartless man who fatally ran over a disabled Borough Park woman turned himself in to authorities early Monday, police sources said.

Emergency responders took the woman to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

She and her brother, Robert Medina, 56, were together only hours earlier running errands at a ShopRite on Ave. “She wanted to make it home on her own”.
