One of the victims, a 52-year-old man, was hit so hard his heart stopped beating. His friend, a 50-year-old man, was treated for broken bones and still doesn't have full use of his
right arm weeks after the horror smash. The friends were crossing Upton Lane in Forest Gate, east London, when the careless driver, who was parked on the street, pulled out and ploughed into
the pair. Horrific images captured on CCTV show the two middle-aged men being thrown into the air like ragdolls before sickeningly crunching on the tarmac. Miraculously, both men were
released from hospital the following day, but their treatment is ongoing. Police hunting the suspected hit and run driver of the car, believed to be a BMW, have released CCTV footage of the
crash that took place at around 10.30pm on Easter Sunday. Detective Constable Stephen Field from Newham CID said: "Both victims suffered extensive injuries which they are still
recovering from. "We know there was a Renault Megane which was driving directly behind at the time of the collision and the driver may have vital information. "We urge anyone who
has information to come forward to help us trace who was responsible." Anyone with information about the collision is asked to call DC Stephen Field on 020 8217 5085 or via 101 quoting
reference 5308616/16. Alternatively, to remain anonymous, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
