A biker has ploughed into a family waiting on the pavement after a reckless pedestrian stepped into his path.
Ignoring a nearby zebra crossing, the jaywalker walked into the street from between two parked cars and apparently didn’t check the traffic.
CCTV footage showed the family – two women and a young boy – standing on the pavement holding hands while waiting to cross the road.

At the same time, the pedestrian was seen hurrying across the road without looking in both directions.
He stepped in front of the unsuspecting motorcyclist, who had a passenger riding pillion behind him.
Both motorcyclists were knocked off the bike as the pedestrian was sent flying across the tarmac, as reported by Need To Know.
The bikers then slid along the street and straight into the family on the pavement.
They crashed to the ground in a heap along with the motorbike.
The boy was seen holding his head in pain as onlookers rushed over to help them.
The accident took place in the Colombian capital Bogotá on the afternoon of 18 Mar.
Luckily, the victims only suffered minor bumps and scrapes in the crash.
The video went viral on X with 160,000 views and hundreds of comments.
One local said: “Pedestrians never look to see if a vehicle is coming, there are people walking around with too much sawdust in their heads.”
“A pedestrian who crosses the road from between two cars and doesn’t even look the other way is to blame for the accident,” added another.
A third person said: “It was the pedestrian’s mistake initially, but if the biker had been travelling at a reasonable speed, he may have been able to react in time.”
