Video captured a road raging motorist in Brooklyn, New York running over a school bus driver, reported the NY Daily News.

The unidentified male was driving an SUV and reportedly traveling behind a school bus at about 5:15 p.m. local time on April 30.

The vehicle proceeded to run over the bus driver and drag her into the middle of the street. The motorist turned right and fled the scene.
