It appears the trio does not try and fix the car or call for help but they are seen to be looking over their shoulder as they walk away.

At one stage they break into a slow jog.

A Queensland Police Service spokesman said it appeared a Holden Commodore, believed to be stolen, crashed into another vehicle on the Gold Coast Highway at Mermaid Beach about 11.30pm.

The collision caused the suspected stolen vehicle to hit a road divider, before it continued into a garden bed and flipped, police said.

It is unclear where the vehicle had been stolen from.

Investigations into the incident are ongoing.
