Video: Car ploughs into dad and son
Out-of-control car careers on to pavement
Published: 11/05/2010
A DAD desperately clung on to his baby son when an out-of-control car ploughed into them on a pavement.
Now incredible video pictures have been released of Andrew Leach taking the full impact of the collision as he frantically holds on to son Haydn.
The CCTV footage also shows Mr Leach's elderly parents being tossed into the air and landing on the ground, apparently unconscious.
The vehicle was being driven by an 82-year-old woman who is believed to have had a heart attack.
She sped through a red light and then smashed into a parked car before crossing a T-junction in Penrith, near Sydney, Australia, before mounting the pavement.
Amazingly, baby Haydn escaped, terrified but without a scratch.
His dad, who suffered a broken leg, and grandparents Caroline and David Leach, who were seriously injured, have since recovered.
