A pedestrian was killed Tuesday when a speeding car — clipped by another vehicle — slammed into her at a Bronx intersection in a shocking hit-and-run, police said.
The 30-year-old woman was crossing Washington Avenue at East 167th Street at 6 p.m. when she noticed the blue Jeep SUV barreling toward her, chilling video shows.
She tragically paused in the center of the crosswalk and took a step backward as she watched a black Toyota Rav4 drive directly toward the Jeep, but it was too late for her to return to the safety of the sidewalk.
The Rav4 hit the Jeep’s rear bumper, sending the SUV into a tailspin headed directly for the young woman.
She was struck by the Jeep and violently thrown into a parked car, which was also scraped by the SUV before it rolled to a final rest.
That’s when the driver jumped out of the car and fled from the scene, according to the NYPD.
Video shows three people emerge from the damaged Jeep, with the driver pointing in the direction of where the pedestrian was struck.
He grabbed several items from the car and calmly walked away, according to the footage.
The Rav4 driver stayed at the scene.
The pedestrian, whose identity has not been revealed, was rushed to Lincoln Hospital, where she was pronounced dead, cops said.
It’s not clear which vehicle had the right of way or whether either drove through a red light.
No one has been charged in the fatal hit-and-run. The investigation is ongoing.
