A driver and passenger of a £120,000 Bentley Continental are suspected of fleeing the scene of the crash which killed a council gardener
The Bentley Continental ploughed into a council gardener in upmarket Notting Hill, West London, at around 11.50pm last night.
Police are hunting the men who fled from the wrecked supercar shortly before police and paramedics arrived. The council worker was pronounced dead at the scene around an hour later.
The video, filmed minutes after the collision, shows debris sprawled across the road as paramedics battle to save the man's life.

"The two male occupants of the Bentley - an 07 plate Continental GT - were witnessed to get out of the car and run from the scene - one along Pembridge Villas towards Westbourne Grove, the other along Dawson Place.
"Enquiries continue to trace them."
The London Evening Standard said the victim was thought to be in his 30s, and was believed to have worked for Kensington and Chelsea Council's grounds maintenance contractors Quadron.
