This is the terrifying moment that a car speeds down the wrong side of a road and loses control, skidding and smashing into an oncoming vehicle.
The dash cam footage, captured by an idling lorry driver, seems like any other ordinary day at first, before things take a turn for the worse and an out of control black vehicle comes flying into the left of the shot.
The car, travelling at a very high speed in comparison to the other road users, loses its back end as it tried to avoid the red car, smashing into the front passenger side of the oncoming car before slamming side-on into the wall of a pawn shop in Lakeland, Florida.
After a brief few seconds, two people can be seen climbing out of the black car through the passenger side door, just before the driver of the red car appears to rush over to check on the other driver. A truck can be seen pulling over near to the camera and other pedestrians can be seen gathering near the crash site and across the road.
Fortunately, it seems everyone involved in the crash escaped the incident without serious injury.
The driver, who captured the incident on January 28, named only as Lucas N, was quoted as saying that the “black car was going like a bat out of hell down the wrong side of the road.”
He added,” Wow… Things the dashcam catches when I’m not looking.”
