Shocking hit and run caught on camera

This is the shocking moment a pedestrian is clipped by a speeding vehicle and left fending for himself on the ground as the driver careens off in Bristol.

The car accelerates past the junction and catches the pedestrian who is knocked in the air before spinning and hitting the tarmac.

Members of the public quickly run to the aid of the clearly injured person while the vehicle that hit them has already sped out of sight.

As traffic progresses, a small crowd gathered around the victim - who appears to be not too badly damaged by the attack.

The person who filmed the video said: 'I was in Bristol and I saw a gentleman out the corner of my eye fall over.

'To be honest I thought he tripped on the pavement and didn't think much of it.

'This morning I thought I would review my dash cam footage of this to see what happened.

'What I saw shocked me. A vehicle actually struck the gentleman leading him to fall to the ground and the car making off.

'Of course, I have reported this to the police. The guy was alright apart from shaken up.'
