I am not sure about you guys but by analysing the incident frame by frame, it looks like a blatant hit and run. The driver should turn themselves in.

Mod: Removed zip file. Use Imgur, OzBargain upload etc.

I went through the video frame by frame and although it appears that the woman looks like they are jumping towards the car in the video, this does not appear in the still images. This is because of the nature of how the dash cam is mounted to a moving object and the how the car brakes have been put on and the suspension is making the video bounce upwards because the dash cam is also part of that car, giving the illusion that the woman is jumping to some extent at around images 13 to 15 because it is inertia from the bounce we see at 8 to 9. Pay attention to the bonnet.

That is because the car is still travelling and if you slow down and look at it frame by frame, it becomes more obvious that the person is not moving at all and it is just the car that is moving.

This is definitely in my opinion an obvious situation where the driver was wrong. I mean come on, how can you be so silly to post evidence where you are possibly committing an offence…

          That was the pigeons fault, easily.

          Also for OP

          extract from fakenews.com.au
          Queensland Police spokeswoman said police were “aware of a video circulating on social media where a female walks out in front of a vehicle and is struck on Browns Plains Road at Browns Plains on May 2”.

          “The driver reported the incident to police shortly after the incident,” she said.

    While it's possible this woman was running across the road to join her boyfriend, I think it's far more likely she wanted to be hit by the car. And when she saw the car slowing down and possibly just bumping her, she made sure to lean in and jump at the car.

    Should the driver have stopped? Yes. But there's also the risk this was an attempted car jacking. Woman runs out, gets hit, driver stops to help, accomplice attacks the driver and gets the car.

    The 'blatant hit & run' angle is very strange. It makes it sound like the driver deliberately sought out and mowed down this woman. The evidence presented contradicts that.

    • Kail on 04/05/2023 - 10:50

      Apparently a group of people appeared behind the car, so definitely a car jacking attempt.

      The driver 100% did the right thing in driving away to call the police afterwards.

  • ThithLord on 03/05/2023 - 16:19

    wtf OP, you're not very bright. You can see the woman standing at the side of the road waiting to jump in front of the vehicle, next to the refuge island sign.

    • blitz on 03/05/2023 - 16:25
      +3

      I agree. If you step through frame by frame (use full stop) you can see her timing her run across the road. You can also see her (presumably) accomplice waiting on the other side of the road. I wonder what OP is thinking with this line of argument.

      • skid on 03/05/2023 - 17:06

        Carefully selected incident site just after a round-about where cars have to slow down. Picked to be hit by the car in the left lane a few steps from the curb. There was a car in the right lane a half second before. And she didn't see the driving lights?

        How does the insurance fraud work?

      • Sleeqb7 on 04/05/2023 - 10:59

        OP was the lady trying to get the internet to side with them so they can take DOCAU to court for the identity of the driver.

      or the "shocked" witness running from the other side of the road.

    Yeah it was still moving but the insurance scammer woman threw herself at a 4WD with a bullbar car before it hit her. Clear insurance fraud. These people aren't very smart, as somehow 5 seconds later at 2AM, another guy (who looks to be her boyfriend) comes out of nowhere. /s

  • mbck on 03/05/2023 - 17:09

    Very common in a certain country.

    • deme on 03/05/2023 - 18:56

      Did you miss Browns Plains QLD

      Or is that Browns Plains QLD, Certain Country.

          I think even a 4 year old can see QLD is in Australia

          • Loopholio on 04/05/2023 - 14:35

            @deme: Browns Plains is in Logan, Queensland. People like to forget Logan exists, for various reasons. ;)

    Quite obviously a poorly executed insurance scam, car jacking or attempted bashing. The driver said more people were coming out of the bushes from behind the vehicle (or maybe one of the commentors in the same area) so too bad, so sad. This is not the same as the little kid that ran in front of the SUV in the city with the dad thumping the bonnet before looking for his kid.

    I agree that it looks like a scammer. Just the way they stop suddenly in the correct spot and then brace for impact, then the accomplice immediately ready to assist. They must be real desperate to attempt this.

  • AustriaBargain on 03/05/2023 - 17:58

    Not sure, you didn't actually post a video to look at.

    She must have missed the obvious ute/4WD with headlights on. She clearly didn't notice the bullbar.

    You can also clearly see the girl stop and throw herself towards the car, not expecting the car to still have momentum when coming to a stop. Deserved it lol.

    I love how the screaming ends the second the driver decides to keep going. You’d think it would get louder and they’d scream out “stop you (profanity of your choice), you hit my friend” if it was legit.

  • miwahni on 03/05/2023 - 22:28

    I would have done exactly what that driver did - no way would I have stopped there, especially at night. My sister was carjacked from the carpark just to the left of screen at the start of December. Full of lowlifes.

    • jikijiki on 03/05/2023 - 23:00

      What area is this?

    • miwahni on 04/05/2023 - 21:37

      As per @b0rnwithabeard, it's Browns Plains, behind the Grand Plaza shopping centre.

    So, OP, are you the guy or the girl from the video?

    I saw this video as well, and it is 100% as the title said, insurance fraud. You can see her huddled at the side of the road and leap out as the car gets there and throws herself on the bonnet. And the witness just happened to be right there? Come on…

    But what the driver should have done was pull over further up the road and called police and told them that these two idiots were pulling this shit.

    There is no way I would be hanging around at that time of night on a quiet road with those two possible car jackers looking for an easy target.

    Driver said on another post there were people also approaching the rear of the car and they were of the belief they were about to be carjacked, as opposed to insurance fraud.

    Being Browns Plains, smack in the middle of Inala and Logan… I'd say that's more likely. Doubt these idiots are smart enough for insurance fraud and were probably hoping the driver got out and then the people behind would jump in the car and steal it.

  • b0rnwithabeard on 04/05/2023 - 08:07

    Did not see any pics or OP's video…yet.

    But the first "is it this one" Youtube video…did anyone else just not get past how the cam driver cut corners, crossed solid lane lines…twice,
    before failing to stop for the possible scammer? Brave…stupid…brave…nah, Stupid! Scam or not.

    Difficult situation to get out of the car with the peanut gallery forming around the vehicle…but what if??????
