A taxi went flying across a busy highway intersection after it was swept up by a white van, who appeared to be running a red light.
Footage taken from the dashcam of a car in waiting at an adjacent red light shows a group of cars heading through a green light.
As they take off to cross the intersection, there are no cars in seen in the oncoming lane opposite.
But when they approach the halfway mark, the van comes flying through the intersection of Dawson Highway and Aerodrome Road in Gladstone.
Shocking dashcam footage shows the moment a van appeared to run a red light and smash into a taxi
According to the driver of the car filming the accident, the van’s light was red.
The front of the taxi goes flying through the intersection, with its front caved in from the impact.
Meanwhile, the van continues to travel, eventually coming to a stop while wrapped around a traffic light pole.
Commenters on Facebook all appeared to agree the van should have stopped, but many also criticised the taxi driver.
The front of the taxi was caved in by the crash, and the car spun over to the other half of the intersection
The van continued on, eventually stopping after crashing into at a traffic light post
Most who took this stance claimed the driver could have seen the van coming and decided to stop instead of continuing through the intersection.
One person said the van was just trying to beat the van, and was unaware there were two lanes of traffic turning right.
Police attended the scene about 9.45, and reported there was a two vehicle crash.
A spokeswoman for Queensland Police Media told Daily Mail Australia the occupants were out of the vehicle when they arrived, but the crash had caused heavy traffic.
