They never saw it coming.
A girl walking to her 🍨Queens middle school Thursday morning was struck from ꧅behind by an SUV and flung like a rag doll across the sidewalk in a horrific crash caught on security video.
The crushed student was one of five victims of the 7:50 a.m. accident, which happened when a parent dropping his kid off at the school mistakenly stepped on the gas and jumpe𓆉d a curb, cops said.
Victim Marina Abadir, 14, was trapped under the two-ton Honda Pilot along with 💝a friend at Grand Avenue and 71st Street, across from the Frank Sansivieri Intermediate School.
“I held Marina’s hand. She was just saying, ‘Get m♕༒e out of here!’ She was trapped under the car. The car was on her ribs,” said Candace Cruz, 34.
Nearly a dozen good Samaritans lifted the car to free the trapp𓆉ed kids.
“Once they lifted t♏he car up, she tried to sit up and she had trouble breathing,” Cruz said of the eighth-grader. “I told her, ‘Calm down. Breathe slowly.’ She said, ‘Please stay with me.’ I was holding her hand.”
Her unclꦗe, Sherif Elgawly, 37, said she suffered🌺 “multiple fractures in her spine” and head trauma.
“Her condition is not stable,” he said at Elmhurst Hospital, where Marina was 🐈in the intensive care unit.
“They are really not sure how many bones, like little bones, are fractured in her body,” said the uncle, an assistant teacher. “She is in severe pain . . . She keeps crying every on꧟ce in a while.”
The second most seriously injured girl, Ashley Khan, 14, was also at Elmhurst in intensi༒ve care, the uncle said.
“Ashley is still in surgery,” Elgawly said. “She fractured her hips and legs. Ashley was pinned under the whe🧸el.”
Driver Francis Aung Lu, 40, of Elmhurst, had accidently hit the gas instead of the brake while parking to let his 6-year-old girl out at the busy intersection, police said. He passed a breath test at the scene and will not face criminal 🐭charges.
Aung Lu’s wife said Thursday night that the꧋ tragic crash was not his fault.
“It was just an accident,” she said.
🐲Witnesses credited the good Sams f꧟or saving the kids’ lives.
“I heard people screaming, ‘Oh m🐓y God! Oh my God!’ and I saw two little girls underneath the car,” said David Foubister, 40💧. “Like 10 other guys did their best to try to lift the car up as much as we could to get to the girls.”
