Boy sees his mom pinned as

- BY KERRY BURKE and JOHN ANNESE

A MOTHER WAS pinned between the hood of livery car and the front of a Chelsea deli as her horrified son watched after a chain-reaction-accident.

Six people were injured when a cab sent the for-hire car onto the busy sidewalk and into the store, authoritie­s said.

The taxi was headed north on Eighth Ave. when it T-boned a silver Hyundai with livery plates heading east through the intersecti­on on W. 21st St.

The impact sheared off the yellow cab’s bumper and sent the livery car into the West 21 Deli and Grocery, pinning a woman to the building’s facade.

“When I heard the crash, the car was coming straight for me. I ran out of the way and I saw the woman up on the hood,” said deli owner Badr Muzab, 34, who hid behind the cash register as the Hyundai barreled toward him.

“Is my mother breathing. Is she breathing? Is she awake,” the son can be heard on video saying as a crowd formed.

“A young boy was crying ‘My mom! My mom!’”Ahmed Abdelhafez, who runs the pizzeria next door, said.
