The two vehicles collide and the Ford Focus is forced off the road and spins into a grass verge and hedgerow before it bounces back into the middle of the road.

"Wow - this is a crazy video - it's lucky no one was killed," said one woman.

It's lucky this happened where it did because I dread to think what might have happened had there been pedestrians out walking on a footpath," added another.
