My name is Maguette Fofana. I am the oldest of 5 siblings (Fatoumata, Goundo, Aliou, and Bintou). We have lost our dear father to a terrible tragedy.

A driver in a stolen van struck a 56-year-old man in the Bronx Wednesday — and then tried to set the vehicle on fire before bolting on foot, cops said.

Alhadji Fofana was trying to cross Westchester Avenue near East 163rd Street in Longwood around 6:30 a.m. when the motorist in a 2008 Ford van rammed into him, police said.

Fofana, who was crossing in the crosswalk, was left unresponsive in the roadway, authorities said.

We had to ship his body to Africa (Mali) for burial purposes. Alhadji has left behind a widow and 5 children. Any donation would help us during these difficult times. Thank you!
