A woman was left clinging on to the hood of a car for eight blocks in road rage incident before losing her grip and being crushed to death.  

The CCTV footage was recently released by prosecutors in Miami, Florida, during an ongoing murder case.

Natasha Boothe, 22, is accused of driving the vehicle that killed 42-year-old Norky Contreras Acosta.
