Shocking moment schoolgirl hit by car and thrown through the air in horror crash – but escapes without serious injury

THIS is the shocking moment a schoolgirl is flung into the air after being hit by a car as she crossed a road.

The teenager had a miracle escape after she survived being struck by the vehicle in a horror crash captured on CCTV.

Disturbing footage shows the youngster crossing the street before being catapulted several feet into the air by the force of the impact of the passing vehicle.

Emergency services rushed to Crocketts Road in Handsworth, Birmingham, at around 3.25pm last Friday (December 13).

Incredibly, medics found she had escaped without any serious injuries and she was taken to Midlands Metropolitan University Hospital for further treatment.

West Midlands Police has since launched an investigation and urged anyone with information to contact the force.

A police spokesperson said: "We were called following a collision involving a car and a pedestrian near the junction of Brearley Street and Junction Road.
