When i was a kid, about 11 or 12 years old, i was walking home with my mother after shopping at the local mini market.
We met a smaller kid i knew, i think he was 8 or 9 years old, anyway we passed and about 10 - 15 seconds after i heard a almighty crash and spun around to see what it was, in time to see the kid at his apex some 4 M or so up in the air.
The kid was in hospital for many many months and did also suffer brain damage, though he did not turn veggie but damn near it.
I was on the sidewalk to the left in this street view, and looking back in that direction, the street still have the old fashioned suspended street lighting i see, the kid was up there near its wires.

I can only assume the kid ran out from the sidewalk on the left and strait out in front of a car going down the street in the direction of view, and then BAM and he was airborne.
My mother sent me home, and then rushed back,,,,, TBH i have never spoken with her about what happened or how it looked, and she felt no need to tell me in the decades since then. ( this must have been the mid /late 70ties as i turned 10 in 1976 )
On camera what could have been a mess but fortunately did not, way back in the day when i had the Lukas LK-7500 i was stopped at a red light, it turend green and a elderly couple started walking, as a car from the left ran a red light, this car was also manned by a elderly couple.
