In a video shared with Stomp, a grey sedan could be seen partially mounted on a road verge.

A crowd could be seen gathering at the pedestrian pavement, near the car's front bumper.

Some in the crowd appeared to be crouched on the ground over a person while providing shade with an umbrella.

When paramedics arrived, they performed CPR and continued to do so even as they brought the injured person onto the ambulance.
