This is the moment a speeding driver smashes into a group of people after hurtling around a corner and crashing through a snack stand, sending one man flying.

CCTV footage shows the group by the snack stand when the white pickup truck hurtles around a bend smashing straight through the hut as people try to scramble to safety.

One man is hit by the car and sent flying, luckily tumbling off the car bonnet to the side.

He can be seen getting up as the vehicle continues on its way.

The incident took place in Armacao dos Buzios, a resort town in the state of Rio de Janeiro, in Brazil, on Sunday, 13th November.

The driver then fled the scene without stopping, according to local media.

Two people were lightly injured in the incident, with cops saying they have identified the vehicle’s owner despite it not having number plates.

The snack stall owner, Sebastiana dos Santos Carvalho, told local media: “He took away my livelihood, I’ve been working there for 35 years. I’m poor. I wake up every day to sell my stuff there. How am I going to sell it now?”

A customer named as Dennys Souza was reportedly there with some friends at the time of the incident, and he said: “I just remember hearing the car coming and trying to run, but it grabbed my left side, where my leg and elbow were swollen.

“But thank God it wasn’t a big deal. It was all very fast.”

It is currently unclear who was driving the vehicle and the police investigation is ongoing.
