A hit-and-run driver smashed into a mother and her 3-month-old daughter in Brooklyn on Saturday evening, killing the baby, according to police and law-enforcement sources.
The male suspect fled the scene on foot after the crash at Gates and Vanderbilt avenues in Clinton Hill at around 6:20 p.m., the NYPD said.
The brutal collision sent the infant flying 15 to 20 feet in the air, according to the witness.
The child was taken to Brooklyn Hospital in critical condition. She was later pronounced dead, according to the sources.
The witness, who declined to give his name, told The Post he saw a silver car “speeding” and “almost hit some bikers” a few blocks away.
The erratic driver then slammed into a black car “and then hit a family – a husband, baby and mother,” according to the witness.
“They went flying,” said the man, adding that he called 911 after the shocking incident.
“The guy got out and ran… The father picked up the baby and tried to run [her] to the hospital.”
Photos of the accident’s aftermath showed the baby’s stroller still on the scene hours later, along with a damaged black car and the smashed up silver vehicle the suspect was said to be driving.
Police confirmed that a man wearing dark clothing fled the scene on foot.
There was no immediate word on the condition of the mother.
