An unidentified woman was fatally struck by a hit-and-run driver and then dragged for about a block in a disturbing Brooklyn scene Friday morning, according to cops and surveillance video. 

The woman – believed to be in her 30s – was crossing the street at the intersection of Watkins Street and Pitkin Avenue in Brownsville when she was struck around 6:50 a.m. by a black Ford SUV, police and sources said. 

It appeared the woman had left a bodega and crossed against the light – and the motorist may not have known they hit someone, sources said.
