If they drove the car over an overpass with the person underneath the overpass, nothing would happen.
Seriously, I have to wonder why you are asking the question and I hope it's a class question or just curiosity and not something you want to try if you get an answer that says it's safe to do.
Depending on the size of the car it probably weighs between 1500 and 2500 lbs. with most of that being the engine and transmission, and approximately 1/2 of the engine weight is going to be passing over the foot upon impact. Plus both the front and back tire might go over the foot increasing the risk of injury. Safety shoes might offer better protection but they it depends on the weight of the vehicle and its speed.
Plus if the foot belonged to a young person the injury would most likely be less if it were and old person.
None the possibilities are worth the risk of trying it intentionally.

It depends. A fellow I know was wearing leather upper clogs and his foot was sideways when a heavy truck drove over it. There was no injury.
Another fellow had his foot run over by a car and he had comminuted fractures of the foot. He didn't have boots on and the car went over the top of the foot.

I know of a young woman who lost her foot that way. Probably everything in her foot was too crushed to ever heal. So the range of bad things that can happen is pain to losing your foot.

Pray real hard this person does not live under the rule "an eye for an eye" or in your case a "foot for a foot"!

Would depend on what the person was wearing on their feet...I saw someone wearing a pair of army boots get his foot run over, didn't hard his foot. But I would imagine someone wearing flip flops would know about it.

My dad ran over my foot when I was 12 years old. Not my dad's fault, just me watching too much movies.... It does not feel anything as at when. Later after 5 seconds, u will feel like needles poking all over your foot. Did not really hurt, but you will feel not comfortable for few weeks....Please don't try it.

fact, my husband drove his truck over my foot and it didn't break,it just depends on type Of shoe and where the actual tire went on the foot.

depends on the velocity of the car.If its fast a person will feel less pain cause the inertia doesn't effect much.If the cars slow then the foot will most probably break
