Shocking footage captured the moment a car left the motorway after colliding with another vehicle at high speed.
Dashcam footage posted on Facebook showed the horrific crash on the Pacific Motorway at Oxenford on the Gold Coast at 3.50pm on Wednesday.
A silver Nissan Pulsar sped across the hard shoulder of the motorway before colliding with the side of a white MG3 hatchback heading onto the Hope Island Road off-ramp.
The Nissan Pulsar left the motorway, overturned over the guardrail and rolled over several times.
The hood of the car could be seen flying off as other parts of the vehicle disintegrated.
He stopped on his roof, narrowly avoiding the trees that lined the road.
The white MG3 spun numerous times under the extreme force of the collision and miraculously avoided colliding with any other vehicles while remaining upright.
It is not known with certainty how much time elapsed until the accident occurred.
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 and for mandatory blood tests.
The 42-year-old female driver and a 17-year-old female passenger in the MG3 were also taken to Gold Coast University Hospital.
The Facebook post sparked condemnation from social media users who attacked the Nissan Pulsar driver.
“Holy crap! That poor white car was speeding towards the exit. How terrifying. I hope you are all okay,” wrote one.
The horror crash on the Pacific Motorway at Coomera on Queensland’s Gold Coast caused the silver Nissan Pulsar to roll over several times and the white MG3 to spin across the motorway lanes.
The accident prompted condemnation of the reckless driver of the Nissan Pulsar on the Facebook page Dash Cam Owners Australia
“The person who gets hit is the one who will suffer the most, physically, mentally and economically, simply because there are no consequences for the criminals.”
Many responses had no sympathy for the sedan driver.
Others explained that high-speed accidents in that area are not uncommon.
“I see at least one angry driver every time I drive along the M1 in this area +20km north that I frequent… and it’s not always stolen cars, but some who believe the rules of the road don’t apply to them at all,” they wrote.
“Daily monitoring by motorcycle police is necessary.”
