May 2024 · 3 minute read

THIS is the heartstopping moment a car ploughs into two pedestrians before smashing into a pharmacy.

Two men, in their 40s and 80s, were rushed to hospital after the London crash this morning, but remarkably neither have life-threatening injuries.

The shocking video shows the moment the car careers onto the Golders Green pavement, carrying a man on its bonnet.

An older looking man, walking with a stick, attempts to get out of the way but is swept up in the chaos.

The silver car smashes into the front of the shop, rattling the wall which the camera is mounted on.

Another video caught the amazing efforts of have-a-go heroes attempting to lift the car off one of the injured men in the aftermath.
