A 66-year-old woman was killed when the driver of a pickup truck rammed into her as she pushed her toddler granddaughter in a stroller in a Brooklyn crosswalk on Tuesday afternoon, police said.
The 2-year-old girl miraculously suffered only scrapes and bruises as a result of the 1:10 p.m. crash in Bath Beach that left her grandmother mortally wounded, authorities said.
The grandmother, who was not immediately identified, was crossing 25th Avenue when a Dodge Ram made a turn onto Bath Avenue and struck her, cops said.
She suffered head trauma and was brought to NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn, but could not be saved, authorities said.
The tot was taken to Maimonides Medical Center, where she was listed in stable condition, cops said.
The truck driver, a 56-year-old man, stayed at the site of the crash until police arrived.
It was not immediately clear whether he would face criminal charges.
