The vision – captured in the riverside suburb of Toowong and posted to social media yesterday – shows a white Volkswagen cross onto the opposite side of the road before slamming into an oncoming car.
The hatchback then rolled on its side, narrowly missing a nearby pedestrian.
It’s the latest in a string of recent road accidents along the nation’s east coast.
Dashcam footage of the incident showed the white van drive onto a median strip, in a suspected bid to overtake traffic at an intersection ahead.
