Stunning surveillance footage captured the moment a wheelchair-bound woman was run over and pinned by a school bus full of kids in Brooklyn on Thursday morning.
The unidentified 63-year-old victim was rolling across the intersection of Parkville Avenue and Seton Place in the borough’s Kensington neighborhood at about 8:20 a.m. when the bus stuck her, the NYPD said.
In the video, the school bus came to a full stop at the crosswalk, its yellow strobe lights blinking as it drove.

The woman was knocked over and pinned beneath the bus. btained by NYPostThe woman — who was stopped in front of a pickup truck parked along the curb — waited just as the bus waited.
But she began moving across the road at the same second the bus started moving again — and that’s when the bus rolled into her, knocked her over and pinned her underneath.
Bystanders ran from the sidewalk to help, the video showed, and several people kneeled down to check on the injured woman in a desperate attempt to free her.

EMS brought her to Maimonides Medical Center in stable condition, cops said.
They have not filed any charges, and the investigation is ongoing.
The incident happened just one day after another shocking school bus accident on Staten Island sent a dozen people to the hospital.
That crash happened when a Toyota Camry slammed into the side of a bus loaded with kids at about 7:20 a.m. on Targee Street near Roff Street, according to SILive.
Authorities brought the 12 victims to Richmond University Medical Center in West Brighton, an FDNY spokesman told the outlet.
But the extent of the victims’ injuries — and how many were kids — remains unclear.
