A hit-and-run driver ploughed into a mom pushing a stroller in Brooklyn after blowing through a stop sign and hitting four young children who were getting off a school bus on Wednesday night.

The 41-year-old mother was picking up her children just before 5pm when the driver smashed into a school bus on the corner of Avenue J and New York Avenue in Midwood, pinning her and the children under the wheels.

'It was just terrible… the stroller was actually, you know, on the ground,' witness Joanne Johnson told The New York Post. '[The mother] was crying probably thinking that she was going to die, thinking about her children of course. So it was very dramatic.'

Some of the children were stepping off the bus when the driver sped past the stop sign that marks an all-girls private school named Beth Jacob.
