Surprising surveillance footage captured the moment a woman in a wheelchair was run over and pinned by a school bus carrying children in Brooklyn on Thursday morning.
The unidentified 63-year-old victim was rolling around at the intersection of Parkville Avenue and Seton Place in the city's Kensington neighborhood when he was struck by the bus around 8:20 a.m., New York City police said.
The video shows the school bus coming to a complete stop at the crosswalk and driving with yellow strobe lights flashing.
The woman stopped in front of a pickup truck parked along the curb and waited for the bus to arrive.
However, at the same moment the bus started moving again, she started crossing the road. Then the bus hit her, flipping her over and crushing her underneath.
Bystanders ran from the sidewalk to help, and several people knelt down to check on the injured woman and desperately tried to save her, according to the video.
Eventually, FDNY firefighters showed up, pried the woman free, placed her on a stretcher, and drove her away.
She was taken by paramedics to Maimonides Medical Center in stable condition, police said.
They have not filed charges and the investigation is ongoing.
