Watch shocking moment woman hit by car - on iconic Abbey Road crossing
The unidentified woman was literally knocked out of on of her shoes during the collision, before the car appears to drive off
This is the horrifying moment a woman was sent flying through the air after she was struck by a car - at the iconic ABBEY ROAD crossing.
The video, captured on the webcam installed outside the historic Abbey Road Studios, shows the unnamed female running across the famous street.
A silver hatchback is then seen failing to give the woman her legally-entitled right of way and speeding across the world's most well-know zebra crossing.

The car speeds over the crossing as the black-coated woman tries to get to the other side.
The car, believed to be a Volkswagen Gold Golf, then hit the woman on the front driver's wing, causing an audible crunch before throwing her several feet across the road.
As the car drives out of range of the web cam, concerned pedestrians and cyclists rushed to the stricken woman's aid.
A passer-by wearing a pink shirt is seen repeatedly shouting "somebody call an ambulance" as he attended to the injured woman.
Despite many thinking the driver of the vehicle fled the scene, according to staff at the recording studio, they pulled over to help.

One web user wrote: "First run because drivers can't see you fast enough to react, and if you are running there's the chance you won't look both ways you're focused on the sidewalk on the other side of the road. Second look both ways."
