The force of the impact displaces the vehicle’s license plate, causing it to fly across the road.
Five passers-by then rush over to the site, one of them raising a hand to stop motorists from proceeding.
Another passer-by picks up the licence plate and woman’s belongings, then moves them where they will be less of a safety hazard.
Someone then makes a phone call, at which point the video ends.
