Horrific hit-and-run: video of a woman being hit on the pavement

The driver of a car lost control of the vehicle on Friday evening in Budapest and then ran onto the footpath, hitting a pedestrian.

The incident happened on Üllői Street, and security camera footage obtained by RTL Híradó shows that the driver of the BMW tried to take the bend with too much acceleration, leading to the accident.

The inexperienced driver presumably panicked when the rear of the car skidded and jerked the steering wheel. The car drove up onto the pavement, where it overturned several bicycles and scooters and then hit a woman.

Miraculously, the pedestrian suffered only minor injuries in the accident.
