Looks real to me,But you never know these days.The things people can do.

Has to be fake. Anyone in their right mind would have just jumped over the car...geesh.

I think I saw that video like 8 years ago.

It is real. The guy was pronounced dead at the scene but the paramedics did not stop CPR until he was at the hospital and they were able to revive him. He apparantley made a full recovery.

I've seen this here somewhere.

Searching...

Faaake.

Notice how odly the guy is walking (cycled footage), plus he has absolutely no reaction to the crash. It didn't happen fast enough for him to not even turn his head. Also, when the car hits him, he somewhat blinks out of existence.

Before I check, is this the black and white footage with a guy crossing the street in the left side and suddenly there's an accident and the car rolls right over the guy?

Hmmm, it looks pretty real to me. I don't know how you walk but when I do it its a cycle of left, right, left, right too As for him blinking out of existence, I think that's what happens when a car rolls over you

Jump over the car?

Of course. It always works in the movies. Well, its a movie isn't it?

Slight reaction by walker right before he gets hit would indicate it's real.

Snopes says that it's TRUE:

Origins: It's a chilling scene: a video clip shows a vehicle as it speeds through an intersection and runs broadside into another car; a pedestrian crossing the street breaks into a run to run to get out of the way of the out-of-control vehicles, but the struck car rolls on top of him. The video is all the more chilling because it isn't a scene from a movie, nor is it the product of special effects wizardry — it's the real thing, captured by a red-light enforcement camera.

The accident seen in the video occurred at 12:40 p.m. on 23 May 2004 at the intersection of Third Street and Edwin C. Moses Boulevard in Dayton, Ohio. Betty J. Hayslip, 75, of New Lebanon, driving a PT Cruiser, ran a red light and struck a Subaru driven by Albertina L. Walker, 41, of Dayton. The collision caused the Subaru to roll over one and a half times; it came to rest upside-down and in the process crashed into pedestrian Scott Tegtmeyer, 42, of Dayton.

Tegtmeyer, who was crossing the street in the same direction as the PT Cruiser and had just reached the curb on the opposite side, can be seen in the video breaking into a desperate run as the collided vehicles bear down on him. He could not react quickly enough, however, and the Subaru rolled atop of him, dragging him several feet across the intersection. Although medics who found Tegtmeyer's bloodied body amidst a sea of broken glass initially pronounced him dead at the scene, he began breathing while in transit with paramedics and was fully resuscitated by doctors. (As of 2 June 2004, Tegtmeyer was reported as being in serious condition at Miami Valley Hospital.)

Investigators said that at the time of the accident the crosswalk signal was red, and therefore Tegtmeyer should not have been crossing the street. They also reported that Tegtmeyer miraculously escaped alive because the dent in the side of the Subaru caused by the crash created a hollow space that allowed the vehicle to roll over him without crushing him to death. Neither vehicle was carrying any passengers, and both drivers escaped with only minor injuries.

The crash was captured by one of the automated red-light enforcement cameras installed at a dozen intersections around Dayton to help reduce crashes caused by drivers running red lights. Each camera records 12-second motion videos used to issue citations to offending motorists.

Did the red light camera also send them a ticket for running the red light?
