The delivery man (top left) who was on the motorcycle stood up and looked at where the woman and baby he had run over were lying under a pile of sticks, but did not check to see if they were okay before walking away from the scene.
The accident occurred about 16 kilometers (10 miles) from the Armando Mendes neighborhood of Manaus, where 55-year-old Jones Lopes was beaten to death by a group of motorcyclists on Wednesday after he ran over a delivery man on a motorcycle.
Disturbing footage showed the angry mob of motorcyclists pulling Lopes from his car, then beating him and knocking him to the ground.
Lopes, a married father of three, was pushed to the sidewalk and they punched and kicked him in the head until he was unconscious.
A video showed someone hitting Lopes on the head with a brick.
According to Manaus police, who are leading the investigation, no arrests had been made as of Thursday.
