A PREGNANT woman and her unborn baby narrowly escaped death after she was flung from a moving ambulance following a car crash.

The film, caught on a Dashcam, shows the oncoming ambulance starting to skid across a road in the Magadan Oblast region of north-eastern Russia while driving in wintry weather.

The car in front of the camera car, reportedly a Nissan Cedric, is unable to avoid the ambulance and smacks into its right side at the rear.

A woman is seen flying out of the ambulance's back doors and tumbling onto the road.

The camera car's driver swerves to the left to avoid her and manages to avoid an oncoming car too.

Video later cuts to some time later when the emergency services have arrived with the sky noticeably darker.

It has been reported that the woman had to wait 30 minutes for another ambulance to arrive, though it was not clear whether this was unusual for the area or whether the crew had been delayed.

Onlookers helped care for the mum-to-be, who had left her flat for hospital still in slippers, until another ambulance arrived.

Remarkably, neither she nor her unborn baby was reported to have suffered any significant injuries in the crash.

The 21-year-old driver of the Nissan that struck the ambulance was hospitalised but there is no other information about his condition.

There were no other injuries and no names were mentioned in reports.

A cyclist can be seen somersaulting 10ft through the air "like a rag doll" by a teenage hit-and-run driver in Bournemouth.

Video footage shows victim Jacek Szafranski was thrown into the air before being left motionless on the ground by callous Benjamin George, 19.

Judge Brian Forster QC sentenced George to five years in a Young Offenders Institution and disqualified from driving for six years, which will be suspended for two and a half years while he is in prison.
