A young school girl just returning from school, has been hit by a car just as she got off the bus and ran across the road.
The moment the young girl dashed across the road only to be hit by the car
The shocking video shown below shows the dramatic moment a 15-year-old girl was hit by a car and thrown off the road as she dashed across it.
The girl identified as Emily Armitage had a hard time as her head and elbow left impressions in the car windscreen and her shoes ended up in a nearby field and garden.
Emily, who is raising awareness of road safety, had just stepped off a bus and, distracted by her mobile phone, ran into the path of a car and bounced off the windscreen.
Daily Mail reports that she amazingly had a lucky escape and suffered no major injuries, but does still endure back and leg pain and suffers anxiety over what happened.
Emily, now 19, is now backing a campaign - Look Out for Each Other - which urges everyone to take care on the roads and be more aware of each other.
Emily, of Lingdale, East Cleveland, said: 'Everything happened so quickly, I didn't know what had hit me.
'I realise that if the driver had been going any faster, I would have been killed. I want to support the campaign because I want people to know how easily it can happen.
'I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. I was extremely lucky, but others may not be so fortunate. I hope this campaign can save lives.'
