A group of wannabe influencers were mowed down by a car as they swaggered down the road for a social media video.
Slo-mo footage shows the group of six strutting down the tarmac for the camera.
Some walk in the lane, others on the hard shoulder, and the bearded man at the front of the pack peacocks down the dividing line.

All of a sudden, a car rams into them from behind at high speed.
Three of the group are scooped up onto the bonnet, while a fourth is knocked sideways onto the hard shoulder.
The bearded man is tossed into the cameraman, who lands in a heap with the former lying on top of his leg.
At the moment of impact, the car was straying onto the hard shoulder, suggesting the driver hit the group on purpose.
It is not clear when or where the footage was filmed. However, it appears it was taken in India.
It was shared online last month (Dec) with the Hindi-language caption: “Do not make Reels on the road.”
According to the social media user who shared it, the driver sped away after ploughing into the group.
She wrote: “The addiction to making Reels is more dangerous than opium and cannabis.
“People are not even concerned about their lives in the pursuit of Reels.”
It’s not clear if any of the young people were left with lasting injuries, as reported by Need To Know.
Sanjeev commented: “When will these TikTokers understand that life is more important than likes?”
Rohit joked: “Now they become famous.”
Netram remarked: “In the pursuit of making reels, these people put their lives at risk, which is wrong.
“However, the car driver’s gross negligence in this is evident and is condemnable.”
And Baddi asked: “What had that driver taken? Charas or cocaine?”
