A driver was thrown out of her car after she pressed accelerator by mistake in eastern China.

The CCTV video, shot in Jiangsu's Zhenjiang on November 2, shows a car reversing onto a busy road, knocking down a scooter rider and throwing the woman out onto the ground.

The car kept moving for more than ten metres until it crashed into the embankment.

According to reports, the car driver opened her car door to argue with a scooter rider after the scooter allegedly scratched the car.

Since the car driver already pulled the handle to reverse her car, after she realized the car was sliding backwards, she got nervous and pressed the accelerator instead of the brake accidentally.

The woman's daughter was in the car when the incident happened, the police said. The scooter driver and the car driver both had injuries in different degrees.

11月2号上午10点左右，在镇江中山东路红旗小学门口，一辆停在路边的轿车突然失控，冲进了机动车道，坐在驾驶位上的女司机被直接甩出了车外，道路监控拍下了当时的危险一幕。
这名过来的女士就是这辆黄色福克斯的驾驶员，她将车停在人行道上接小孩放学的，这时小孩上车了，她也上车了，因为她车停在人行道上，堵塞了交通，有一辆电动车过不去，在她上车之后，电动车主准备推着电动车从她边上经过，她这个时候已经挂在了倒档，她觉得电动车过去的时候，可能蹭到她的车了，她就打开车门，半个身子在车外跟电动车驾驶员理论，这时候车子后溜，她一紧张，就把刹车当成油门，然后自己的车子冲了出去。

将电动车撞倒后，轿车极速向后滑行，女司机由于没有系安全带，被直接甩出了车外，车子滑行了10多米，撞到路中央的绿化带后才停下。交警介绍，当时，车内还坐着一个小女孩，所幸没有伤及周围群众。

在这起事故中，被撞电动车车主和女司机都有不同程度的受伤，经交警初步勘察，事故主要原因是女司机操作不当。
