Dramatic footage has emerged from the UK of bikers and pedestrians helping an injured man out of an overturned vehicle.

The video, captured in Barnet, London on Tuesday, shows the filmer getting off his motorcycle and approaching the car, which had crashed and flipped onto its back.

Along with some pedestrians, the filmer helps the injured driver out of the vehicle, and switches the ignition off.

"Thankfully [the driver] escaped the wreck with only a cut mouth and a bit of shock," the filmer wrote online.

"In the time after the crash people were driving past recording the scene on their mobile phones so I acted as a 'Traffic Controller' to keep everybody moving and reduce congestion as much as I could."

Talking about the cause of the accident, he said "of course there were various speculative reasons as to who was a fault and how it happened. Nevertheless the only one that will ever know exactly what happened is the driver and hopefully he can learn from this in some shape or form."

"I'm just glad the driver made it out alive and unscathed and nobody else was injured, god forbid if someone was on that zebra crossing. Drive safe out there!" he added.

As I was riding down the road I saw an overturned car. I hit record on the camera straight away for evidential purposes (as the crash happened a few seconds before I was in view of it). The biker in front (whom I have never met before) pulled over and as did I. Along with a pedestrian we ran to the car to see if the driver was okay and to get him out of the vehicle before the situation got worse (I saw oil and panicked as fire was the first thing that came to mind). Thankfully he escaped the wreck with only a cut mouth and a bit of shock. In the time after the crash people were driving past recording the scene on the mobile phones (REALLY SMART IDEA BY THE WAY) so I acted as a 'Traffic Controller' to keep everybody moving and reduce congestion as much as I could.Once some yellow lights arrived and we were taking what we had witnessed, of course there were various speculative reasons as to who was a fault and how it happened. Nevertheless the only one that will ever know exactly what happened is the driver and hopefully he can learn from this in some shape or form. I'm just glad the driver made it out alive and unscathed and nobody else was injured, god forbid if someone was on that zebra crossing.Drive safe out there!
