WATCH: Incredible smash caught on camera

The motorist behind the wheel of the silver Seat Cordoba is believed to have passed out before her car hurtled into oncoming traffic.

The driver on the opposite carriageway was unable to avoid the vehicle as it crossed onto the other side of the road on Bromsgrove Road, near Kidderminster, at around 3pm Wednesday.

The footage was captured on a dashboard camera in the car behind, driven by Scott Hardiman, aged 48, which was also hit, and shows the Cordoba emerging over a hill and towards the light blue Seat Ibiza.

Although the driver took instinctive action to try and avoid contact, the two cars crashed.

The Cordoba came to rest in a hedge at the side of the road and was left badly damaged.

Scott's son Ryan, aged 19, posted the footage of the accident on YouTube after the police informed them they would not need to use it for an investigation.

The camera had been placed in the car only a few months earlier in an attempt to shame bad drivers. Ryan, of Peel Street, Kidderminster, who had finished a driving lesson only 15 minutes earlier, said: "My dad put it in as he does a lot of driving and to catch dodgy drivers and put it on YouTube, like in Russia where a lot of people have these cameras."

The Cordoba clipped the back of the Skoda Yeti that Scott and Ryan were travelling in before hitting the hedge. They were not hurt and leapt out immediately to try and help. The stretch of road was closed for two hours after the crash as paramedics attended to the injured. The woman driving the Seat Ibiza, which was hit, had to be cut out of the car by firefighters and was taken to hospital. The lady who is thought to have blacked out was also treated by paramedics as a precaution.

Ryan said: "We saw it hit the car in front of us at the wheels begin to lift and then we felt the jolt when it hit our car. Then it bounced off and ended up in the hedge. We were fine so we jumped out and phoned an ambulance straight away. We actually knew the lady who ended up in the hedge by coincidence. Her neck was hurt but she was more in shock about what happened.

"I believe she blacked out for a few seconds.

"The lady in front of us, her back was hurt and her door wouldn't open so the roof had to be cut off. We have spoken to them both since and they are alright."

Ryan, a student at Birmingham University, admits it could have been much worse. "We need a new wheel and the bumper is hanging off but if it had been head on it would have been awful." West Midlands Ambulance Service confirmed two women were taken to hospital following the crash but said that their injuries were not thought to be serious.

West Mercia Police spokeswoman Terri-Anne Powell said: "We were called to a three-car collision at 3.04pm on June 17 between a blue Seat Ibiza, a silver Seat Cordoba and a Skoda Yeti near the Stone Manor Hotel. The road was closed at 3.21pm and reopened at 5.21pm.
