He then gets hit and thrown into the air before landing with an agonising crunch on the tarmac, before drinkers in the pub come rushing out.
Fellow Corrie characters – including police detective Kit Green and wife Shona – desperately try to save the life of an unconscious David, played by Jack P. Shepherd.
In fact there’s a huge twist to the story because it’s all orchestrated by a suicidal David, who’s hit rock bottom due to his overwhelming debts to Harvey Gaskell.
After attempts to revive him on the spot fail, he’s then rushed into hospital where he faces a fight for survival – but it turns out another Weatherfield favourite gets dragged into his desperate plan.
Pregnant Daisy Midgeley is caught in the crossfire, leaving her and her unborn baby in danger.
In new photos, David is seen pushing Daisy out of the way. But is it too late for the barmaid?
Coronation Street boss Kate Brooks recently said: “The story we’re telling is one of a very desperate David, trying to protect his family and keep Harvey and his goons at bay.
“He is struggling to navigate that, and struggling to pay back this big debt he has. He’s struggling to protect his family.
“It all comes to a massive head in early February, when we play a massive stunt that has huge consequences for David.

“So, in trying to protect everyone and do the right thing, he ends up losing quite a few things that he holds dear.
“So, a real journey for David. He’s well-intentioned, but he fails, messes up and makes mistakes, and there’s massive consequences not only for his own family, but for the wider community as well.
“Somebody does get embroiled in David’s downfall, which is quite unexpected.”
It comes after David’s son Max set fire to their house to pay back notorious gangster Harvey Gaskell after he stole money from him.
Harvey’s thugs were out for David after taking money which belonged to him – putting his whole family in danger.
Meanwhile, The Sun revealed last month that Charlotte Jordan had become the fifth star to leave Coronation Street in just one month.
She will bow out of the ITV soap later this year after four years on-screen. Charlotte told sources that she’s hungry to see what other opportunities await.
