Witnesses described seeing him jumping on the bonnet of the car in anger.
One eye-witness, who declined to be named, said: ‘It was horrific. I heard a massive bang, jumped out of bed and looked out of the window. I saw him dragging this guy out of the car and putting him into his own vehicle.
‘The guy being dragged looked unconscious to me. We could hear some moaning and groaning. He looked in a bad way.
‘At first his friend couldn’t get him into the car. He made a few attempts to close the door but his leg was in the way. Then he sped off.
‘A few minutes later he came back in the same vehicle with a different driver. They had dumped the injured man somewhere and come back.
‘He tried to start the crashed car but couldn’t get it started. He’s then got angry and started jumping up and down on the bonnet.’

Another resident said: ‘I heard a massive bang, looked out and saw this guy saying ”you need to get out of the car before the feds get here”.
‘But the guy didn’t look like he was conscious or weight-bearing.
‘He wasn’t able to carry his own weight. His shoe came off and this old man, bless him, picked it up as he was passing and tried to give it back.
‘He thought he was doing them a favour. He kept saying ”your shoe!” and the guy was saying ”it doesn’t matter”. In the end he just threw it into the car.
‘It looked to me like they had been racing and he’s lost control and hit the tree. I don’t understand why they had to get away from the police. I don’t think the casualty was dead but he looked in a bad way.’
