A pedestrian was struck by a vehicle in a busy Yonkers intersection on Saturday \u2013 leaving him seriously injured on Bronx River Road.<\/p>\n
The incident happened around 5 p.m., when a man was seen crossing the street as a car sped through the intersection. Surveillance video obtained by News 12 confirmed that he was already in the crosswalk when he was hit.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe got thrown up into the air and came down real hard on top of the car,\u201d said Chris Caiola, who works nearby. He rushed to help, making sure no one moved the victim before police arrived.<\/p>\n
Witnesses say the man was breathing and was taken away by ambulance. The driver\u2014described as an older woman in a silver sedan\u2014did stop and appeared visibly shaken as she called for help.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt rattled me,\u201d said Omar Badawi, who works at a nearby convenience store. \u201cYou don\u2019t see something like that every day.\u201d<\/p>\n
