hit-and-run driver smashed a man and sent him flying 40ft through the air before leaving him for dead - and luckly he survived

Horrifying CCTV footage shows the 53-year-old man being thrown off his feet (left) as he crossed the road in the Kemptown area of Brighton. The man was flipped into the air (top and bottom right) before bouncing off the car roof and crashing down onto the tarmac. The driver of the white Fiat 500 then fled the scene, leaving the pedestrian lying injured in the middle of the road (bottom right). Police have now released the CCTV - which shows the incident from three different angles - in a bid to speak to people who were in the area at the time. The incident took place at around 3.40pm on Thursday, January 14 and left the man with serious injuries.WHAT a lucky man, this is a miracle
