A NURSE who was crushed between two cars in a hit-and-run Mother Day’s tragedy has died from her injuries, police say.
Florence Ngwu, 49, was with her daughter when a stolen truck hit the back of a parked car, pinning her between two vehicles.
The stolen truck reportedly slammed into the parked car from behind while trying to complete a U-turn in a Queens neighborhood.
Ngwu died of her injuries at a hospital.
“This is the third time and they weren’t able to revive her. We’re all just devastated,” her niece, who chose to be identified as Nnenna B told The New York Post.
Shocking footage from the scene shows Ngwy’s daughter screaming out “Mommy, Mommy!” as the incident unfolded.
Ngwu reportedly went outside after hearing commotion and seeing damage to her daughter’s car.
She tried to stop the driver from fleeing the scene and that’s when he hit her, before taking off, witnesses recalled.
The stolen truck was later found abandoned about a mile and a half up the road, according to police.
The vehicle was reported stolen by Pawar Builders in Elmhurst, Queens.
However, the driver of the vehicle is still at large, police confirmed.
A neighbor of Ngwu remembered her as a nice lady.
“I would see her every morning because I was going to go swimming when she was coming home,” Robert Brown told the Post.
“She worked nights, she was a nurse.”
