#1 Sent hurtling: The collision between car and bike was caught on camera

Footage of the moment a pedestrian was sent flying after a collision with a car has gone viral - because of an ongoing debate about who's to blame.

The clip caught on a motorcyclist's helmet camera shows two men crossing the road in Abingdon, Oxfordshire.

But the pair chose not to walk on a pedestrian crossing and one of them seems to be distracted by something in the distance.

The other, walking a dog, tries to wait for a break in the traffic.

Not prepared to wait, the man in the green jumper tries to run to the pavement before a silver Volkswagen ploughs into him , hurling him into the air.

#2 Dangerous moment: The pair didn't go to a proper crossing on the busy road

He bounces off the bonnet and lands on the pavement on the other side of the road.

The video was reportedly shot back in 2013 and first posted to YouTube in 2014, has gone viral after being picked up by Reddit.

According to the man who captured the footage, the pedestrian was walking the next day.

He wrote: 'Who was at fault will never be known.'
