A woman was critically injured in Brooklyn on Tuesday when a car jumped a curb and plowed into her, the FDNY and witnesses said.
A black car heading south on Court Street in Brooklyn Heights made a right turn onto Atlantic Avenue when it was struck by a truck around 12:50 p.m., causing the driver to lose control, witnesses and fire officials said.
The victim was standing at the corner when the black car hopped the curb, hit her and crashed into a Rite Aid at the corner, a witness said.
“The car hit a lady and she fell on the ground. She just went unconscious, her leg bones were sticking out,” said Glenise Henry, 39, who witnessed the crash.
“It’s scary.”
The unidentified woman was rushed to Lutheran Hospital in critical condition.
