WATCH: Appeal to trace hit-and-run driver who ploughed into man on mobility scooter
This is the split second before a man was thrown from his mobility scooter after being struck by a car in a hit-and-run.
The victim, a man aged in his 60s, was hit by a grey Skoda just after 2.20pm on October 3 in Smethwick.
The driver sped off, leaving the man with serious injuries to his head, pelvis and ribs.
He was taken to Birmingham's Queen Elizabeth Hospital having suffered 'life-changing' injuries.
WATCH: Do you know this driver?
Police are appealing for information to find the car, that they describe as stolen, following the crash at the junction of Cape Hill and Montague Road.
A video clip was released of the driver who was captured on dash-cam footage.
Sergeant Mark Bull, investigating the collision, said: “The victim has been left with life-changing injuries as a result of this collision, and it’s really important that we speak to the driver as soon as possible.
“Luckily, there is clear footage showing the driver’s face. Someone will know who he is and give us his name.
"We’d urge him to do the right thing and hand himself in before that happens."
The West Midlands Police twitter account released the clip that sees the car turning onto Montague Road from Cape Hill and smashing into the man who was crossing the road on his wheelchair.
They said on Twitter: "We need to find this driver after an electric wheelchair user was hit by a car which then drove off. Someone must recognise him from this clear image. Let us know who he is."
The video also asks people with information to call 101 and quote log number 1437 of October 3.
This crash came hours before a fatal crash involving two cars and a pedestrian on Waterloo Road, half a mile from the site of the hit-and-run.
A 68-year-old woman, named locally as Surinder Kaur Saund, died after being struck by a taxi while she was walking to her parked car.
Police have now confirmed a 22-year-old man who had been arrested has been bailed over the incident but remains under investigation.
Four others who were arrested have been released without charge and are no longer being investigated.
