Video shows car smashing into central reservation

This is the horrifying moment a car spins off the road and smashes into the central reservation of the A56.

Video footage shows an Audi driver travelling along the road southwards towards Edenfield.

But then, as the driver negotiates a bend, he and his passenger are heard letting off a stream of expletives.

Seconds later a white vehicle is seen spinning off the carriageway and ploughs into the central reservation. A cloud of debris is captured flying through the air as the out of control car spins around 360 degrees.

As the recording continued the Audi driver – who has skilfully managed to avoid the crash – brings the car to a halt.

The footage then cuts to another clip which shows a severely damaged red BMW sitting on the road with its hazard lights on. It’s right-hand front bumper appears to be completely gone, and it is missing its licence plate.

A number of vehicles also appear to be stopped with their hazard lights on waiting at the side of the road behind the BMW.

The footage was sent anonymously to the Manchester Evening News on Thursday morning.
