An elderly man was recently decapitated in Brooklyn — and now, new video has captured the horrific scene, including the harrowing reaction of a city employee involved in the accident.
A clip of this tragic incident from last week is circulating online – showing the moments after a New York Department of Transportation truck struck and killed a man who was crossing the street… with the force of the vehicle severing the woman’s head. victim. His body.
This is hard to see, but watch it if you’re so inclined. A bystander recorded what happened moments after this poor guy was hit… and his head ended up far from where his body was.
A man in a work vest – presumably the driver – is seen kneeling in the street, rocking back and forth as the cops arrive… and at one point, you see him bending over even lower… looking absolutely devastated. A woman stands next to him, apparently trying to comfort him.
