A speeding vehicle, clipped by another car, killed a pedestrian on Tuesday, May 28, after slamming into her at a Bronx intersection. The hit-and-run was caught on camera.
The video shows the woman, 30, crossing Washington Avenue at East 167th Street at 6 pm. She suddenly saw a blue Jeep SUV driving toward her.
The woman stopped in the centre of the crosswalk, taking a step backwards. A black Toyota Rav4 then clipped the Jeep, but the woman could not manage to walk back to safety on the sidewalk.
Hitting the Jeep’s rear bumper, the Rav4 sent the vehicle into a tailspin. The Jeep directly headed for the pedestrian.
The Jeep’s Driver Flees
After a violent collision with the Jeep, the woman was hurled into a stationary car. According to the NYPD, the driver of the Jeep subsequently exited the vehicle and fled the scene.
Three individuals emerged from the damaged Jeep, with the driver indicating the area where the woman was struck before calmly retrieving several items from the vehicle and departing. In contrast, the driver of the Rav4 remained present at the scene.
