“When she walked behind the vehicle, the vehicle rolled over her,” an NYPD spokesperson said. 

Police were called to the scene where they found the wounded victim with severe head and torso injuries. 

EMS rushed her to NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn but she could not be saved. 

Cops did not release her identity Wednesday night pending family notification.
