Backhoe hits and crushes NYC nurse to death

NYC, NY, USA - Oct 06, 2021

Heartbreaking video obtained by The Post has solved the mystery of what happened to a woman found crushed to death Friday on a Brooklyn street — she was struck by a backhoe whose driver apparently never even saw her.

The video shows the yellow construction vehicle striking 61-year-old Estelle Davis with its shovel before running her over and dragging her along the corner of New Lots and Van Sinderen avenues in East New York.

Neither the driver nor a worker nearby appears to notice as Davis falls and then disappears under the vehicle.

The backhoe then lurches forward, leaving the woman motionless on the street, video shows.

Cops arrived and found Davis unresponsive around 2:20 p.m.

Davis was rushed to Brookdale Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

You don't have to be very attentive when a monster of such tonnage slowly pounces on you.

That's pretty sad, but this is why we don't look at our phones when crossing the road either folks

That's true seacucumber but did you know that little slim fish swim into your asshole to stay safe from predators ?

His asshole is also his mouth, and he can eject his digestive system on command to avoid predation.

Don't some of those have a noise when backing up!?! She clearly wasn't paying any attention to any of her surroundings.

People on their fucking phone all the time it's sad but so avoidable. I'm on my phone right now while taking a piss but am in no immediate danger lol

I'm sorry, but this is natural selection. She shouldn't have been looking at her phone.

It's only natural selection if it affects reproduction rate. At 61 she wasn't going to be giving birth to any more children.

Don't these unions pay somebody like $28/h just to spot?

Someone on the crew is culpable and negligent but she's also at fault for her demise because she wasn't paying attention while glued to her phone. You should be just as defensive walking as you would driving. Especially if it's somewhere where there's some sort of construction or demolition you should be way more alert to react to your surroundings.

Ironically, “backhoe” was her nickname around the hospital.

I think you've got it confused with "Blackhoe"

I've driven enough heavy equipment to know you can feel when you run anything over. Either this guy was grossly incompetent or frighteningly apathetic

I chalked that up to the fact that he was backing over a curb so he expected some bumps, and then the roughness after that he probably figured was a pothole.

But in a heavy traffic area like that, he should have his head and whole upper body on a swivel to make sure no one is in the danger zone. Fault goes both ways here, since the nurse wasn't paying enough attention either.
