A couple was struck by an SUV driver on the Upper East Side yesterday. Wesley Mensing, 27, was killed when he and girlfriend Erin Sauchelli, 30, were hit and pinned by the Mercedes SUV driver as they were crossing Lexington Avenue at E. 62 Street around 7:30 p.m. Saturday.

The couple had been holding hands when they were struck. "I ran out and saw the lady under the rear of the car. The gentleman was pinned under the front," witness Dr. Kishore Nallu, who was driving by at the time, told the Post. The car's driver "came out screaming at the top of his lungs. He was crying,’" Nallu added. "He asked around if anyone was a doctor...[then he] "gathered a whole bunch of people to lift the car up. It took at least six or seven people."
