    A video, showing CCTV footage of a hit-and-run in Ventersburg, 148 km north of Bloemfontein in the Free State, has been circulating on social media.

    The incident, which took place on January 18, involved a car full of people, who mowed into an elderly lady, with a baby strapped to her back.

    In the video, reports News24, a VW Polo or Golf can be seen turning left toward a sidewalk where the woman can be seen exiting a shop. The car then rams into her and the child, pinning them against a wall.

    Be warned – the video is jarring:

    Two passengers exited the car and left the scene. The driver clearly had no idea how to handle the car, which rolled back because the handbrake wasn’t employed. The driver then got back into the car and drove away.

    Free State police spokesperson Brigadier Sam Makhele confirmed the incident to News24 and said the driver and owner of the vehicle were both arrested.

    “It is alleged that a vehicle drove over into the sidewalk in front of Rio Ridge Bottle Store, resulting in a collision and pressing the woman [against] the wall of the building while she was walking on foot on the pavement. The victim was taken to Katleho hospital for treatment and is reported to have been further transported to Pelonomi [Academic Hospital] due to the nature of her injuries,” Makhele said.

    Thankfully, the baby only sustained light injuries.

    The driver has been charged with reckless and negligent driving, and will appear in court on Thursday.
