This video shows the shocking moment a person along a road holding a mobile telephone to illuminate their presence is sent flying by a hit-and-run driver.

The collision happened outside the 600 block of N. Rockwell in Oklahoma City in the United States.

The woman pedestrian was walking on the road when she was struck by a car on the inside lane, and the violence of the collision can be seen by the fact that her mobile phone flew up into the air and is sent spinning forwards before landing on the ground.
