A bystander captured horrifying video of a road rage argument that escalated into one man allegedly stealing a grandfather's car and running him over in the street.

Tracy Leavitt, 53, was found by Hemet, California, police lying in the middle of the street unable to move after he was sent flying in the attack around 7am Friday.

Authorities have now released a graphic video of the incident, in which Leavitt is seen arguing with a man outside a white pickup truck before his own car rushes by and hits him at 30mph.

The suspect who hit the grandfather is said to have stolen his car before running into him with it at around 30mph

The man with whom he had been arguing is seen jumping out of the way of the fast moving vehicle and yells 'Yeah!' as Leavitt is crushed.

He quickly gets in his truck, believed to be a Ford Ranger from 2006-2011, as the other suspect shuttles back and forth between the area where the men were arguing and Leavitt's vehicle picking up items.

The two suspects, both described as white or light-skinned Hispanic men around 5'8 and 5'10 and between the ages of 18 and 25, then drive off.

Leavitt's family says that the grandfather is recovering, but they are having trouble paying the medical bills for hip replacement and leg surgeries

Their truck is thought to have a broken rear cab window and a broken driver's side window.

It is not known how the man who was inside Leavitt's car managed to take it.

Leavitt was taken to the hospital with injuries that were not life threatening, but included a collapsed lung and broken bones.

His wife Sabine told KTLA that he is recovering and has had hip replacement and knee replacement surgeries.
