A truck driver has posted video of the terrifying moment he collided into a car twice before the motorist stopped in the middle of the busy Sydney freeway.
Mark Wearne filmed the shocking collision on his dashcam on the M4 in western Sydney earlier this week.
He was forced to slam on his brakes after a black sedan merged into his lane in front of him from the left without warning.
He can be heard gasping as his truck clips the back of the sedan and crashes into it a second time and causes extensive damage to the car’s rear.

Mr Wearne can be heard having an expletive-laden rant as the female driver stops the car and then stands in the middle of the busy freeway with driver’s door wide open.
He tries to be patient when he sees a young boy looking out the motorist’s window before he eventually loses his temper again as the woman repeatedly ignores pleas to move her car from the middle lane.
‘I’ve gone from being super angry to being exceptionally upset,’ Mr Wearne posted on Facebook two days after.
‘In very dangerous situation, the whole time I had my eye on her passenger door, waiting for the kid to jump out and potentially become road kill.
‘I asked her (very politely and calmly) for her to move her car, she refused, I just wanted them both off the road, so I asked again and again, each time my anger and frustration is building to boiling point.
‘In her second stupid move for the day, she approaches the truck and demands my licence, I told her not to worry about that now, and that she needs to move her car immediately, again she refused and demanded my licence, that’s when I flew off the handle, only this time she moved her car.’

The mother and child were uninjured.
‘…..that was my main concern, especially toward the little boy,’ Mr Wearne posted.
‘Seeing her being taken to hospital, I’d get over it, but not the kid, that would destroy me ‘I make no apologies for yelling at her, it was a necessary evil.’

While social media reaction was mixed, there was a lot of support for the truck driver.
‘That woman should never be allowed behind the wheel of another car, ever. She’s a mortal danger to everyone around her, including her own children,’ one man posted.
Another posted: ‘His frustration is most definitely justified. He stayed far more composed than I would have! I see this all the time, people have minor accidents and just leave the cars in the middle of road or even freeway! It’s utterly stupid and extreme self centered!’
