In a case of road rage, a woman allegedly hit and killed a moped ride in the Bronx on Saturday afternoon, CBS News reported. The police are investigating the deadly crash which happened around 2.30 pm after a dispute between the drivers.
“The guy was on the floor, just a lot of blood, leg broken, and the lady was just on the floor too, crying, just scared and shocked. It was crazy,” witness Cesar Garcia told the media outlet.
Photos from the incident show a red Honda Civic with its front smashed in and the front right tire turned on its side.
Another witness Ismael Ramon said, “I was basically on the phone with 911 until they arrived.”
