Unbelievable footage caught the moment a pedestrian in Florida was launched several feet into the air by an evil driver who then attempted to flee the scene on foot.
Andres Fiallo Estupinan, 36, was allegedly speeding through a residential neighborhood of Shenandoah Park, about three miles west of Miami, when he struck and killed a pedestrian.
The victim, who had been jogging down the street just before 7pm on Monday, was ‘struck from behind… causing him to go airborne while severing both of his legs,’ according an arrest report obtained by NBC 6 News.
They were pronounced deceased on the scene and have yet to be identified.
Disturbing footage from a nearby Tesla caught the horrific moment the impact hurled the victim several feet into the air.
The driver, in a Volkswagen Passat, was driving at high speeds and also collided with an ice-cream truck and two parked vehicles after the pedestrian was hit, according to authorities.
A woman inside the ice-cream truck and Estupinan were both hospitalized following the collision.
Witnesses told police that Estupinan ‘immediately [exited] the driver seat and began to run away from the crash without rendering aid to the pedestrian/victim and did not appear to contact emergency services.’

One neighbor told the outlet: ‘I came out because there was a huge sound. It looked like a bomb. I never expected it was an accident.’
Some onlookers held the driver down until law enforcement arrived on the scene, according to the arrest report.
Marcos Mere told WSVN: ‘There’s a commotion, and I turned to the park, and there was like a fight, and I said, “What is going on?”
‘And then it was because they had pinned the guy, they were holding the guy down.
‘He tried to escape. He tried to flee inside the park, and other people start- they jumped him.’
Juan Lugo, the son of the woman injured in the ice cream truck, said he was called by someone on the scene of the incident and he rushed to be at hospital to be with her.
Her current condition remains unclear.
Neighbors said the crash highlighted the increased concerns surrounding the speeds drivers take around the neighborhood.
