A woman who got out of her car after getting into a fender-bender in Brooklyn was fatally mowed down by the other driver — who then sped off against traffic on a one-way street before crashing into two parked cars, police said Sunday.
The mayhem began when the 32-year-old victim’s car was struck by a Chevy Trax driver near Van Buren St. and Marcus Garvey Blvd. in Bedford-Stuyvesant about 11:55 p.m. Saturday, cops said.
