Am I too jaded?

Ms. Newman-Poncherello, my illustrious coworker, just passed this gem over to me. But something smells fishy. Maybe I'm jaded, but something looks NOT QUITE RIGHT about this clip. So you tell us:

Is this real?

    the person walking across the street was edited in.
    giveaways:
    1(not major) - he is walking very slowly across a major road without the right of way
    2 - scale is way off - it would be a very tiny person (look when the car is about to hit the person the size discrepency)
    3 - if you look at his location on the 'ground' vs the location of the car when it slid by, the guy should have been missed and or still visible after the car 'hits' him
    4 - the guy and all his belongings are not visible anywhere after the car 'hides' him - the hardest part to create digitally would have been the thrown victim

    110% fake

    i saw that crash on the news months ago.
    it's supposed to be real and that he survived because "a dent in the door created a safety pocket so he was not crushed"
