An elderly woman was struck by a yellow taxi while walking her bike near Columbus Circle — but she miraculously survived with the help of two construction workers who lifted the vehicle off her.
The cabby hit the 83-year-old woman at 9:30 a.m. while turning east on West 60th Street from Columbus Avenue, authorities said.
She had been walking a blue bicycle across Columbus Avenue with the light.
The cab driver jumped out of the 2012 Ford Escape hybrid to check her out, then attempted to throw the SUV in reverse.
Workers Joe Delfino, 34, and Marcos Loyola, 60, told him to stop — and then lifted up the front of the 3,300 pound vehicle.
Loyola gently pulled the woman out, and Delfino put the cab down.
“All I saw was her sneakers,” said Loyola. “I don’t know where I got the strength.”
“That’s what saved her,” said another worker who declined to be named. “We were lucky we were on coffee break because if we were working, we might not have seen it.”
FDNY medics took the woman to Bellevue Hospital, where she was treated for a broken wrist and multiple fractures to her right leg.
Police are still investigating the crash, but do not believe there is any criminality.
