This is the shocking moment a BMW loses control at a junction, slamming into a traffic bollard - before the driver and passengers disappeared.
Residents near the junction in East London woke up to a loud bang at 7.30am on Sunday.
To their horror, they saw the crumpled car outside their window.
It is thought the car swerved to avoid oncoming traffic but didn't quite make the turn.
Two people who were inside the car got out, took a look at the front of the car, took a child out from the backseat and then bizarrely walked off.
They appeared to be miraculously uninjured as the horrifying scenes were caught on a resident's home security system.
The camera was pointed at the traffic bollard at the junction of Leyton Green Road and Lea Bridge Road in Leyton.
One man and his wife were woken by a thunderous bang on Sunday morning.
When they saw the crash, they phoned the police and ambulance.
By the time authorities arrived the occupants of the silver car had vanished.
Footage shows the vehicle swerving to avoid an oncoming back car, and careering into a no through road.
It takes out a road sign and then gets stuck on a bollard.
The driver revs the engine, trying to move it, but the car is well and truly stuck.
Two people then get out and remove a child from the back seat.
Meanwhile, a motorist in a black car parks up to check on the driver and passengers, and when the driver sees the two people walking around their car, he walks off.
A witness said: "It looks like they have seen the oncoming cars, and ended up in the cycle lane.
"The car was embedded on the bollard. They didn't actually stop for the police or ambulance.
"It woke me and my wife up. I called the emergency services and they were there in a few minutes, but the guys had walked off.
"There was a minor in the car that can be seen in the video."
And he added: "There have been more accidents which have taken place in the last few years at that junction."
A spokeswoman for the Met Police said: "Police were called to Lea Bridge Road, E10, shortly after 07.30hrs on Sunday, 7 November to reports of a road traffic collision.
"Officers attended. A BMW car was found to have collided with a lamppost and a bollard.
"The occupants of the vehicle, including a child, had left the scene before police arrived."
