Moment car speeds at pedestrian missing him by inches before ploughing into lamppost
SHOCKING footage shows the moment a car missed a pedestrian by inches before ploughing into a lamppost. The chaos was caught on camera by David Lloyd Jones in Ashton-under-Lyne, Greater Manchester, in August 2024. 4 4 A man in pink shorts is seen sprinting down the pavement as a car speeds after him in the video. But instead of staying on the road the blue motor mounts the curb in hot pursuit of the pedestrian. Footage shows the vehicle smashing into a bin before slamming into a lamppost - just inches from the fleeing man. The man then turns around and appears to be pointing and laughing despite the near miss. But he quickly runs off again as the driver unwedges his car from between the road sign and wall. Debris from the front of the car falls to the floor as he reverses away from the smash. The man in shorts has already run out of shot at this point as the driver of the blue car puts his foot on the accelerator. Footage shows him racing around at speed while shocked bystanders watched on. David said: "I filmed a bunch of people flipping out. I didn't know them." He was heard saying in the video: "Man that was crazy. That was some madness. "That's some of the craziest s*** I've seen." It's not clear if the two men knew each other. The police have been contacted for comment. It comes after a car was seen reversing into a pedestrian before ploughing into them a second time last month. One local watched on in horror as they filmed the incident, as the pedestrian was launched into the air by the force of the crash. In the video, a white car with a sunroof can be seen swerving around a second black car - slamming into a pedestrian in the process. The unnamed walker in orange was knocked to the ground by the impact whilst a woman can be heard shouting in Tower Hamlets, in London. Then, the vehicle drove into the man again which propelled him into the air. As he hit the ground, the woman can be seen trying to pry open the car door whilst shouting: 'Open this f***ing car!' One man wearing blue shorts immediately bolted from the vehicle and escaped on foot. Meanwhile, a man in grey robes silently waited next to the vehicle. 4

Retail, F&B likely to be affected as Singapore economy slows in second half of 2025: MAS; Pedestrian injured in multi-vehicle accident in Tampines: Singapore live news
Singapore's economic growth is projected to slow in the second half of the year, following an unexpectedly strong performance in the first six months, according to the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) on Wednesday (30 July). This could spill over into domestically oriented sectors such as retail, and food and beverage, which have struggled in the first half of the year despite the robust economy growth. These sectors recorded sluggish or even negative growth during the same period. A car driver was arrested on 30 July following a multi-vehicle accident in Tampines that left a pedestrian injured. The crash, which involved a van and two cars, occurred at around 9.30am at the junction of Tampines Avenue 5 and Tampines Central, near Our Tampines Hub. Read more in our live blog below, including the latest local and international news and updates. Pedestrian injured in multi-vehicle accident in Tampines A car driver was arrested on 30 July following a multi-vehicle accident in Tampines that left a pedestrian injured.

One of the car drivers, a 38-year-old man, was arrested for dangerous driving causing grievous hurt, said the police. A 60-year-old male pedestrian was injured in the incident and was taken to the hospital conscious.

This could spill over into domestically oriented sectors such as retail, and food and beverage, which have struggled in the first half of the year despite the robust economy growth. These sectors recorded sluggish or even negative growth during the same period. Looking ahead, the MAS expects gross domestic product (GDP) growth to be "relatively subdued" for the remainder of the year. On the inflation front, MAS noted that rising costs in water prices and health insurance premiums have been offset by easing inflation in most other categories. As a result, core inflation, which excludes accommodation and private transport costs, remained steady at 0.6 per cent year-on-year in the second quarter, unchanged from the first quarter.
