Mridhul Kombara, 35, was walking to meet friends at a restaurant in Coventry when he was hit by a white Ford Fiesta that suddenly veered onto the pavement before smashing into him.
This is the moment a pedestrian was flung into the air before being knocked to the ground by a car mounting the pavement.
Footage shows Mridhul, wearing a brown jacket and jeans walking along the path before the out-of-control car smashes into him and a lamp post, severely damaging its bonnet in the process. The father-of-one, who works in IT, said he had been left 'traumatised' by the freak incident, which occurred while he was walking to a restaurant to meet friends.Mridhul initially believed the car was pulling up to park at the side of the road, before he realised its speed wasn't decreasing and was then thrown up by the bonnet of the car.
Mridhul was luckily helped by passers-by and the manager of a local supermarket who came to his assistance and called an ambulance.
