Horrifying new video footage captured the moment a beloved 93-year-old great grandmother was struck and killed<\/a> by a hit-and-run biker on Monday afternoon \u2014 and left dying on a Bronx street. <\/p>\n

The disturbing clip shows retired nurse Leonara Campbell, a great-grandmother of nine, being struck and dragged on the pavement near White Plains Road and East 225th Street about 2:30 p.m., with her cowardly killer then speeding off and leaving her dying.<\/p>\n

Another video moments before the tragic collision showed the unknown biker revving the engine to blow past a changing traffic light \u2014 about 20 feet where he killed Campbell. <\/p>\n

The clip shows the speeding motorcycle zip past the screen in a blur.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was speeding up,\u201d one eyewitness told The Post. \u201cHe was trying to make the light. About halfway up the hill you could hear [him] speed up. Then he let off as he was coming across.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen, \u2018boom!’\u201d he said. \u201cHe hit her, Just as he was hitting her I turned away and said, \u2018Oh my God!\u201d<\/p>\n

Campbell was on her way to pick up medications and candy for neighborhood kids \u2014 and food for one hungry boy when she was struck down by the reckless biker, her family said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHer head was bleeding by the jaw, and her ankle was all messed up, her knee all messed up,\u201d eyewitness Noel Crewe said Tuesday. \u201cWe were all standing there for 45 minutes trying to help her, but by the time the ambulance took her she had already passed.\u201d<\/p>\n

The unknown killer then glanced back at the battered woman before speeding off on his 2012 Yamaha YZFR1, relatives and authorities said. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe then stopped,\u201d Campbell\u2019s grandson, Rolando Barrett, told The Post. \u201cHe looked at her for a good minute, and then he left. The guy needs to give himself up, because they still haven\u2019t found him yet.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a sudden death that never should have happened,\u201d he added. \u201cAnd the way she looked when it was over \u2014 it doesn\u2019t look good. It doesn\u2019t look good at all.\u201d<\/p>\n

Police have launched a manhunt for the biker, while friends and relatives cope with the senseless death.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Horrifying new video footage captured the moment a beloved 93-year-old great grandmother was struck and killed by a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":283767,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[128,473,57,8191,9,24,63,4159,129,131,130,58],"class_list":["post-283766","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-the-bronx","tag-bronx","tag-hit-and-run","tag-metro","tag-motorcycles","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-pedestrians","tag-the-bronx","tag-the-bronx-headlines","tag-the-bronx-news","tag-us-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/283766","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=283766"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/283766\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/283767"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=283766"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=283766"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=283766"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
