Dashcam footage has captured the moment a truck driver blasts another motorist when they cut him off on a Brisbane motorway.
It’s one of two southeast crashes posted to Dash Cam Owners Australia which happened within minutes of each other on Thursday.
Footage from the first crash, which happened about 8.19am, shows a white hatchback attempting to turn across three lanes of traffic through a gap in a line of cars at Sunnybank.
The driver makes it across two lanes and pulls out into the third lane hen they aer hit by an oncoming ute.
The ute hits the front side of the hatchback, spinning it 90 degrees into the direction of traffic and forcing it into another car.
The dashcam driver yells in shock at the crash, saying it was “very dangerous”.
The crash caused the front bumper of the hatchback to rip off the body of the vehicle.
Commenters were quick to point out the danger of turning across oncoming traffic.
“This happens far too often,” Andrew Holmes wrote.
“One of the worst spots in Sunnybank,” Paul Cleary wrote.
“So dangerous to leave gaps on multi-lane roads. Even more dangerous to still continue to turn without seeing ahead of you,” Stacy Woolley said.
The second crash occurred at 9.26am on the Wacol on-ramp to the Ipswich Motorway.
Dashcam from a truck captures it travelling onto the ramp while another work truck approaches from another entrance.
The second truck crosses over double white lines and appears to not see the other vehicle, forcing it into the barrier.
“Oh f–k,” the driver yells, before beeping his horn twice.
“You f–king idiot!”
The work truck slows down and pulls over on the side of the road.
“A car or a motorbike and it could have had a different outcome,” David Seymour wrote on the post.
“Charter boat, what charter boat,” Jason Nicolia wrote.
