The elderly victim was in the crosswalk at Broadway when the van turned off 48th Street and plowed right into her at around 5:30 p.m., according to surveillance video obtained by The Post.

The van drove completely over the woman — who buckled to the ground when hit — before coming to an abrupt stop with the victim trapped under it, the video shows.

The woman was rushed to Elmhurst Hospital and is in critical but stable condition, the NYPD said early Monday morning.
