A hoon in a Ford Falcon has crashed into the back of a ute on a busy highway, sending both cars spinning across lanes and debris flying across the road.
Footage posted to Dash Camera Owners Australia shows the ute travelling northbound on the M1 at Beenleigh, in Brisbane’s southern outskirts, just after 9am on Thursday.
The lime green Ford races up behind the ute at high speeds and makes a last-ditch attempt to swerve into the left lane.
But the attempt to navigate around the vehicle fails and the sedan ends up ploughing into the back of the ute on the highway between Brisbane and the Gold Coast.
The ute was left spinning on its axis, while the Ford is slung into the left roadside barrier before bouncing off and sliding to the opposite side of the road.
