Incredibly, medics found she had escaped without any serious injuries and she was taken to Midlands Metropolitan University Hospital for further treatment.
PROBE LAUNCHED
West Midlands Police has since launched an investigation and urged anyone with information to contact the force.
A police spokesperson said: “We were called following a collision involving a car and a pedestrian near the junction of Brearley Street and Junction Road.
“It happened at just before 3.30pm on Friday and a teenage girl sustained injuries which were not serious.
“Anyone with information can contact us via Live Chat on our website, or by calling 101, and quote log 3062 of 13/12/24.”
The footage, obtained by Birmz Is Grime, captures the moment the girl flipped over the white-coloured car as it ploughed into her before she landed on the ground.
West Midlands Ambulance Service also confirmed she was treated for “injuries not believed to be serious.”
A service spokesperson said: “We were called to reports of a collision at the junction of Junction Road and Brearley Street in Handsworth at around 3.25pm on Friday.
“An ambulance was sent to the scene where, on arrival, crews discovered a car and a pedestrian had been involved in a collision.
