Pacific Motorway crash: Wild moment sedan ploughs into hatchback at high speed before rolling down the side of a motorway
Shocking footage shows the moment a car veers off the highway after colliding with another vehicle at high speed.
Dashcam footage posted to Facebook shows the horrific crash on the Pacific Motorway near Oxenford, on the Gold Coast, at 3.50pm on Wednesday.
A silver Nissan Pulsar raced across the shoulder of the highway before hitting the side of a white MG3 hatchback that was approaching the Hope Island Road exit.
The Nissan Pulsar left the highway, went over the guardrail and rolled over several times.
The hood of the car flew off and other parts of the vehicle fell apart.
The vehicle came to a stop on its roof and narrowly avoided hitting the trees along the road.
The white MG3 spun around several times due to the extreme force of the impact and miraculously managed to avoid other vehicles. The car remained upright.
The lead-up to the crash is unknown.
Queensland Police told Daily Mail Australia that the 48-year-old driver of the Nissan Pulsar was taken to Gold Coast University Hospital with minor injuries for mandatory blood tests.
The 42-year-old female driver and a 17-year-old female passenger from the MG3 were also taken to Gold Coast University Hospital.
The Facebook post was condemned by social media users, who mainly criticized the driver of the Nissan Pulsar.
“Holy s***!! That poor little white car that just took the exit. How terrifying. I hope they’re ok,” wrote one.
The terrifying crash on the Pacific Motorway near Coomera on Queensland’s Gold Coast saw the silver Nissan Pulsar roll over several times and the white MG3 skid.
The crash led to the reckless driver of the Nissan Pulsar being condemned on the Dash Cam Owners Australia Facebook page
“The one who gets hit will suffer the most. Physically, mentally and financially, simply because there are no consequences for the criminals.”
Many comments had no sympathy for the driver of the sedan.
Others explained that high-speed accidents are not uncommon in that area.
‘I see at least one driver going completely nuts when I drive on the M1 in this area +20km north where I frequent… and it’s not always about stolen cars, it’s about people who think the rules of the road don’t apply to them at all,’ they wrote.
‘Daily police checks on motorcycles are necessary.’
