A teenage P-plater is lucky to be alive after his car flipped onto the wrong side of a highway and hurtled towards oncoming vehicles during the evening peak hour.
Dashcam footage has been shared to social media of the horror crash which unfolded on the Hume Highway at Casula, in south-west Sydney last Tuesday night.
A man and woman were travelling together in the far right lane when they suddenly noticed a white Audi SUV flipping repeatedly on the opposite side of the highway after it crashed into a sedan.
The SUV crossed to the median strip and headed towards them, forcing the motorist with the dashcam to slam on the brakes.
‘Woah, woah!’ the pair exclaimed.
The airborne Audi ended up flipping across all three lanes, with debris strewn all over the highway, before it stopped upright after it slammed into a pole.
‘Oh my God!’ the woman screamed.
The man added: ‘Oh, Jesus. Man!’

Two other motorists were captured pulling over and rushing to the driver’s aid.
The dashcam car occupants were in shock at the state of the SUV as they drove past it.
‘Are they OK?’ the woman said.
The woman asked if they should check on the driver but the man said ‘I’m not involved man.’
‘But you have the dashcam,’ the woman argued as they drove past the crash before the clip ends.
Emergency services were called to the scene.
‘Officers attached to Liverpool City Police Area Command attended and were told an Audi SUV vehicle and a Mitsubishi sedan had collided,’ a NSW Police spokeswoman told Daily Mail Australia.
‘With the SUV rolling and coming to rest against a pole.’
The spokeswoman added that the P-plate driver of the white SUV was a 17-year-old, who avoided serious injury.

‘(He) was treated at the scene by NSW Ambulance paramedics for lacerations and taken to Liverpool Hospital for further treatment and mandatory testing,’ she said.
It was also a lucky escape for the 25-year-old woman driving the Mitsubishi sedan, who was uninjured.
A crime scene was established by police.
An investigation into the circumstances of the crash is ongoing.
The dashcam quickly went viral online and attracted more than 105,000 views within several hours of being uploaded on Sunday night.
