VIDEO: Moment hit-and-run driver ploughs into two men on UK road

Police are on the hunt for a hit and run motorist who ploughed into two pedestrians and left them for dead.

One of the victims, a 52-year-old man, was hit so hard that his heart stopped beating and the other victim, a 50-year-old man, still does not have the full use of his right arm after being treated for broken bones.

The mates were enjoying a night in Forest Gate, east London, on March 27 before being ploughed into by the carless driver at around 22:30.

Horrific images captured on CCTV show the two middle-aged men being thrown into the air like ragdolls before sickeningly crunching on the tarmac.

The elder of the victims is still in hospital more than a month after the smash.
