One woman is dead and another is in critical condition after they were struck by a vehicle in Bushwick, Brooklyn, according to police.
The incident occurred at the intersection of Eldert Street and Knickerbocker Avenue just after 5 p.m.
Neighbors and witnesses told Eyewitness News that the two women mowed down, a 71-year-old and 44-year-old, were a mother and daughter who were crossing the street together at the intersection.
“I parked the van, went to my apartment, heard the crash,” eyewitness Rodrigo Gonzalez said.
The sound was a blue Mazda crashing into Gonzalez’s parked van, but the damage was nothing compared to the horrific injuries the two women suffered.
“The older woman got CPR as soon as they could,” Gonzalez said. “They calmed the middle-aged woman down. But she… they were both very hurt.”
The response was swift because the police were already there.
Video from a corner store shows the blue Mazda speeding through the intersection with a police car right behind it.
