NextImg:Elderly woman in wheelchair fatally mowed down crossing NYC street

Disturbing footage obtained by The Post shows the moment an elderly woman in a wheelchair was run over and killed by a car while she was crossing the street in Brooklyn.

The 68-year-old woman was pushing her way across Webster Avenue around 1:30 p.m. when a 73-year-old woman driving a Lexus SUV southbound on McDonald Avenue struck her, according to police.

Video of the incident shows the handicapped victim in a green shirt slowly wheeling herself into the street at the edge of a crosswalk when a white car accelerates and hits the woman.

The victim’s mangled wheelchair sits at the scene where a woman was fatally run over by a car on Sunday.

The car keeps driving, rolling over on top of the victim before the driver finally stops in the middle of the intersection with the woman still beneath the car.

She suffered severe trauma to her body, police said. She was taken to Maimonides Hospital where she died from her injuries.

The driver stayed at the scene and police are treating the crash as an accident at this time, cops said.
