When they reached the third lane of the four-lane street, a black Hyundai travelling at fast speeds hit them head-on.

The impact caused one person to 'fly' several metres forward and the other to the side.

Both landed heavily on the road, and their belongings appeared scattered all over the street.

The licence plate of the car was also knocked off.

The caption of the Facebook post suggested that the driver drove off after hitting the pedestrians.
