A heartless SUV driver fatally mowed down a 74-year-old pedestrian and sent him flying through the air in a deadly Brooklyn hit-and-run crash Wednesday night, according to video and police.
Troubling surveillance footage shows the moment a white SUV slams into Segundo Reina-Gaon — brutally catapulting the pedestrian from the crosswalk into a parked car before and into the pavement at Ridge Boulevard and Bay Ridge Avenue around 9 p.m. in Bay Ridge.
The motorist was traveling northbound on Ridge Boulevard when the SUV crashed into the senior citizen, police said.
Reina-Gaon, of Sunset Park, was rushed by medics to NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn where he died.
State Sen. Andrew Gounardes (D-Brooklyn), who represents the area, said he was “devastated” after hearing about the fatal crash.
