This was the moment a 14-year-old girl was sent flying by a hit-and-run driver who left her lying in the road with a fractured hip in west London.
Hanna Jones was left badly injured after being hurled about three metres by the car in Wise Lane, West Drayton, which then sped away from the scene.
Police released the footage in a bid to trace the driver.
The clip shows the girl being flung into the air after being struck at about 8.30pm on November 27.
Another pedestrian then runs to her aid and appears to gesticulate at the driver as they pull away.

Police said she had just got off a bus and was crossing the road when she was hit at “at speed” by the car, thought to be a silver hatchback.
The teenager was forced to undergo an operation on her hip and further treatment for shoulder and leg injuries.
Her injuries will require lengthy treatment with at least a year of physiotherapy, officers said.
Pc Tom Fowles said: "There is no doubt that the driver will have known instantly that they had caused significant injuries to a pedestrian having struck them in such a way.
“This driver can rectify the sheer disregard they showed at the time and now do right thing in coming forward to speak to us.
“It's likely that the bonnet of their car would have been visibly damaged and we are appealing to anyone who has seen this damage to a silver hatchback which is not properly accounted for, to speak to us. We are also keen to speak to anyone else who witnessed the incident.
“Hanna is showing immense bravery in dealing with her injuries and intensive physiotherapy."
