Detectives today released shocking CCTV footage of the moment the driver of a Ford Ka mowed down a woman pedestrian on a zebra crossing in east London.

Police said they are still trying to trace the driver of the black car after the incident in Siviter Way in Dagenham two years ago in April 2014.

The victim, who was 25 at the time, suffered a fractured collar bone and skull and is still recovering from her injuries.

The crash was described by police as a 'life changing' experience for the woman

The CCTV footage shows the Ford Ka hitting the woman and throwing her into the air and then driving off without stopping. Police later established the car had been scrapped.

Detective Constable Liz Carrey, from Barking and Dagenham CID, said: “Police have conducted extensive enquiries to trace who was responsible for this collision.

“We know the car has been scrapped, but someone may have seen it damaged or the driver of the car may even have spoken about what happened.

"I would ask anyone who has information to search their conscience and contact police.”

Anyone with information about the collision is asked to call DC Carrey on 020 3276 1047 or ring Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
