Shocking CCTV footage has emerged which shows the moment a woman was hurled onto the bonnet of a car in a fatal hit and run incident.

The surveillance tapes, which were released earlier this week, shows 37-year-old Glynis Pinto step out in front of the vehicle before it suddenly accelerates forward.

The force of the impact hurls the woman onto the bonnet of the car and carries her several metres along the street.

After the car moves out of shot, Glynis reportedly fell onto the concrete and was run over before the car sped away, according to WABC-TV.

The incident occurred on April 18 in a residential street in Yonkers, New York.

Paramedics treated the woman at the scene for serious injuries to her legs and torso, before taking her to hospital where she was pronounced dead, reports The Journal News.

Police have not yet made any arrests and are now trying to trace the driver.

Det Lt Patrick McCormack, of the Yonkers Police Department, is appealing for witnesses, or those who may be able to identify the car or the driver to come forward.

Friends and relatives of Glynis have set up a make-shift memorial in her honour, close to where the incident took place.
