This is the horrifying moment the driver of a Porsche ran over and killed a motorcyclist who had allegedly broken his side view mirror moments earlier.
A surveillance camera showed the yellow luxury vehicle speeding down a São Paulo, Brazil, avenue and hitting the bike during the early hours Monday.
The Porsche then careened over the sidewalk and hit a pole and a tree.
The motorcyclist, Pedro Figueiredo, 21, was rushed to a local hospital, where he died.
A cell phone video recorded by a bystander showed the driver, Igor Sauceda, 27, standing next to his car and waving off a group of people who reprimanded him.

Pedro Figueiredo was riding his motorcycle in São Paulo, Brazil during the early hours Monday when he was run over by a Porsche driven by Igor Sauceda and later died at a hospital
Witnesses told the police that Sauceda got into an argument with Figueiredo, who allegedly broke the car’s side view mirror.
Sauceda remained at the scene of the accident and was taken to the Legal Medical Institute, where he took a breathalyzer test, which came back negative.
He then escorted under heavy police presence to a station, where he was expected to be questioned and then released because ‘he remained at the scene until the victim was rescued and was not drunk,’ according to the São Paulo Public Security Secretariat.
He told investigators that he just finished working and driving home with his girlfriend Marielle Campos, who was sitting in the passenger seat, when ‘unexpectedly a motorcyclist passed by on his left side and broke his side view mirror.’
Sauceda added that ‘at one point the motorcycle was in front of him and abruptly changed lanes.’

Alex Figueiredo told reporters that if his son really broke the Porsche’s side view mirror, it didn’t ‘it doesn’t justify him (the driver) taking the boy’s life’
Campo was injured in the accident and was taken to a hospital. The extent of her injury is unknown. Sauceda was not injured.
The incident is being investigated as manslaughter and bodily harm.
Figueiredo’s father, Alex Figueiredo, was seen in a video shouting at the driver as he waited for Sauceda at the police station Monday morning.
‘I just want to know why he did. Even if he from the mirror or something like that, it doesn’t justify him taking the boy’s life,’ Alex Figueiredo told reporters.
‘Is life worth a side view mirror?’ he said. ‘Now he’s going to be able to go back and bring my son home, into the family?’
Pedro Figueiredo leaves behind a three-year-old daughter.
‘No father expects to bury his son,’ Alex Figueiredo said. ‘My son is everything to me. A boy who always worked, always helped me. He always pursued his little goals without harming anyone.’
Metropoles news identified Sauceda as the owner of Beco de Espeto, a bar in the western São Paulo neighborhood of Itaim Bibi.
