A woman was badly hurt on a bustling Bronx sidewalk Saturday morning when an alleged drunken driver’s car jumped a curb and pinned her against the produce racks outside a supermarket in Mount Hope.

Relatives identified the victim as Samadhy Pichardo, 41, a Bronx mother of three.

“The lady had oranges, fruit and metal and all, pinned down on her chest. She couldn’t do nothing,” said witness Paul English.

The 2015 Ford Escape hopped the curb with such force that it took out a parking meter, bending it to the ground, and still kept going.

Then the car slammed Pichardo into the produce racks at La Antillana Supermarket on East Tremont Avenue before she could turn and look, witnesses said.

“This is crazy,” said English. “A whole store fell on a lady.”

The beloved mom, who is planning an October wedding, was being treated for broken bones and non-life-threatening internal injuries at St. Barnabas Hospital, daughter Ashelynne Medina told The Post.

“That whole waiting room was full of people, just for her.”

The driver remained at the scene and was being questioned Saturday night.
