A Ford Mustang plowed into six pedestrians as it crashed into a sidewalk shed in the Bronx before the driver and a passenger hopped out of the muscle car and fled Thursday morning, according to cops.
The Mustang first struck a pedestrian as the driver turned onto Courtlandt Avenue from East 149th Street around 10:50 a.m., police said.
Then the car hit five more people and barreled into scaffolding.
