I say it's a fake. Here's why...
- the movement of the person "looks" fake
- it's very sunny out but there does not appear to be a shadow cast by the person
-if you compare the height of the person to the height of the PT Cruiser, the person seems to be at a smaller scale than the car
-if you look at the traffic, the lanes going front to back had the red light, which means the PT Cruiser ran the red. That means the traffic going side to side had the right of way. That means the person was walking across moving traffic, and he doesn't evn seem to be looking to the side to see if he's going to get run over as he's walking
That's my theory anyway

Here is what I found on it:
The accident seen in the video occurred at 12:40 p.m. on 23 May 2004 at the intersection of Third Street and Edwin C. Moses Boulevard in Dayton, Ohio. Betty J. Hayslip, 75, of New Lebanon, driving a PT Cruiser, ran a red light and struck a Suburu driven by Albertina L. Walker, 41, of Dayton. The collision caused the Subaru to roll over one and a half times; it came to rest upside-down and in the process crashed into pedestrian Scott Tegtmeyer, 42, of Dayton.
Tegtmeyer, who was crossing the street in the same direction as the PT Cruiser and had just reached the curb on the opposite side, can be seen in the video breaking into a desperate run as the collided vehicles bear down on him. He could not react quickly enough, however, and the Subaru rolled atop of him, dragging him several feet across the intersection. Although medics who found Tegtmeyer's bloodied body amidst a sea of broken glass initially pronounced him dead at the scene, he began breathing while in transit with paramedics and was fully resuscitated by doctors. (As of 2 June 2004, Tegtmeyer was reported as being in serious condition at Miami Valley Hospital.)
Investigators said that at the time of the accident the crosswalk signal was red, and therefore Tegtmeyer should not have been crossing the street. They also reported that Tegtmeyer miraculously escaped alive because the dent in the side of the Subaru caused by the crash created a hollow space that allowed the vehicle to roll over him without crushing him to death. Neither vehicle was carrying any passengers, and both drivers escaped with only minor injuries.
The crash was captured by one of the automated red-light enforcement cameras installed at a dozen intersections around Dayton to help reduce crashes caused by drivers running red lights. Each camera records 12-second motion videos used to issue citations to offending motorists.

Maybe another indicater... why isnt he in the crosswalk?
I also think he reacted to fast the incoming car was on him already and he started running.
looking over it again if it is real. He better thank his angel that the PT cruiser ran the red outherwise he would of been for sure dead.

Car goes airborne, lands on pedestrian in intersection
DAYTON | Doctors revived a man Sunday just hours after medics pronounced him dead on the scene of a car crash, police officials said.
Dayton Police Sgt. Charles Hurley said Scott Tegtmeyer was walking in the intersection of Third Street and Edwin C. Moses Boulevard at 12:40 p.m. when a Chrysler PT Cruiser ran a red light, struck a Subaru sports utility vehicle and sent it into the air.
The Subaru landed upside down on Tegtmeyer and dragged him several feet across the intersection, Hurley said. Tegtmeyer, bloodied and surrounded by shattered glass, was pronounced dead on the scene, but he suddenly started breathing while in transit with paramedics. By 3 p.m., doctors had fully resuscitated him.
On Sunday evening, he was in the Miami Valley Hospital Intensive Care Unit.
Neither of the female drivers of the vehicles involved were carrying passengers. The woman driving the Subaru was transported to Miami Valley Hospital. Information on the condition of the driver of the PT Cruiser was not available. Hurley said police talked to eight witnesses. He also said it is possible a camera mounted high above the intersection captured the crash.
Dayton police reconstructionists, trained at putting clues together after crashes, were on the scene with digital cameras and measuring devices. The flipped Subaru showed noticeable crash damage on the left body panel. Ten yards away, the customized P.T. Cruiser with a "AAA" sticker on the back of its tinted windows showed damage to its front end.
