Dramatic dash cam footage shows a reckless Audi driver smash into the back of another motorist before leaving the scene in the damaged vehicle.
In the video the powerful Audi swerves between two cars but is going too fast to avoid a collision with the vehicle recording with its dash cam.
The rear-facing camera is blacked out for a fraction of a second by the force of the impact before capturing the Audi with its front smashed leaving the scene.
The clip was captured yesterday morning in Coventry and was shared on social media.
The post said: ‘Happened 9.05am this morning. Rear dash cam footage. Does anyone know of the driver of a Black A3 Audi.’
The video shows a car pull into the right hand lane of the ring road, with the Audi speeding up behind it.
