A 3-year-old boy and his mother were fighting for their lives after an out-of-control car hopped a curb and smashed into them in Brooklyn yesterday, cops said.
In all, 10 people were hurt when a Lincoln sedan smashed through a bus stop and rammed a sidewalk shed, making it collapse.
The boy lay facedown and unconscious near a pile of shattered glass, blood gushing from his tiny head.
“That little baby looked dead. That baby looked so innocent,” said Lawrence Nicholas, who rushed over from a nearby hair salon.
“When I looked in the baby’s eyes, I never seen any life. I started to cry,” said Paris Rainey, 30.
Good Samaritans tried their best to revive the injured boy.
“I ran outside and jumped over the car. I tried to do CPR on the baby,” said Lenox Blocker, 40. “The baby wasn’t even winking.”
The crash happened at about 6:50 p.m. when a woman driving the Lincoln north on Utica Avenue swerved to avoid another car near Church Avenue, cops said.
Besides the baby and his mother, the injured included the driver, her passenger and six other pedestrians. One woman was pinned between the car and a storefront, a witness said.
The boy and his mother were rushed to Kings County Hospital. Other victims were treated there and at Brookdale Hospital.
Police believe the crash was not criminal.
