Disturbing video shows the moment an SUV driver slammed into a Bronx Sanitation worker – pinning him against his truck and leaving with him with critical injuries, including two broken legs.
Ahmad Ladson, 32, was at the rear of his garbage truck on Colgate Avenue near Watson Avenue in Soundview around 8 a.m. Monday – when a Toyota Highlander SUV careened into him from behind, authorities and sources said.
Ladson wailed in pain as he became wedged between the two vehicles, and then rolled onto the ground next to his truck, unable to get up, the unsettling video showed.
The Toyota driver, identified by cops as a 40-year-old woman, got out of the car and came to the badly injured worker’s aid, as did a second person who appeared to be a fellow Sanitation worker.
A few other pedestrians passed on the opposite side of the rainy street and continued walking without stopping, the video showed.
Ladson suffered compound fractures to both of his legs and was rushed to Jacobi Medical Center, where he was listed in critical condition, cops and sources said.
