Shocking CCTV footage shows the moment a 4x4 driver smashes into a man before driving away.

Andre Ursais, 22, had just parked his motorbike and sidecar outside his home in Quezon City, Philippines, when he stepped off into the road.

Behind him a white Toyota Fortuner approached and knocked him over - driving away as Ursais lay on the ground clutching his head.

Police have now launched a hunt to find the alleged hit-and-run driver after collecting surveillance camera footage of the incident on October 30.

Father Duane, 45, said: ‘’My son is recovering but he’s still feeling a bit sore all over because of the impact and being thrown some distance.

‘’The driver ran away and we’re trying to trace the owner of car but the whole of the number plate is not visible.

‘’I can’t believe they hit my son then sped off like nothing had happened.

‘’We're gathering all the CCTV footage to try to determine where the real culprit escaped to.

''The Philippines National Police is also in the process of enhancing the CCTV footage of the accident to identify the plate of the Fortuner.’'

The PNP force confirmed they were investigating the alleged hit-and-run.

A spokesman said: ‘’PNP received reports of a suspect deliberately leaving the scene of a serious road traffic collision. District officers are gathering CCTV to trace the vehicle’s driver.’'
