Five people were injured when a driver heading the wrong way caused a head-on crash on the motorway.

Footage captured by a driver across the central reservation shows a black hatchback moving into oncoming traffic.

It passed several vehicles, including a lorry flashing its lights and other drivers honking their horns.

Despite travelling slowly, the hatchback made no attempt to change course or get out of the way.

Eventually, it collided with the bonnet of a fast-moving white SUV, shunting it violently as one witness gasped in shock.

The hatchback was left stationary on the tarmac, its bonnet badly mangled.

The accident happened on the AP-7 motorway in Mijas, on Spain’s Costa del Sol, on Saturday (15 Nov).

The erratic driving was first reported at around 5:40pm, with the collision occurring just minutes later.

Emergency responders confirmed five people were injured, one seriously, as reported by Need To Know.

Two 42-year-old women, two 43-year-old women, and a 36-year-old man were taken to Hospital Costa del Sol in Marbella.

Erika said: “I know it’s the fault of the person driving the wrong way, but didn’t the SUV driver see it coming?

“The one going the wrong way is to blame, but still, let’s try to stay alive.”

Elie added: “The one going the wrong way was very much at fault, but I don’t know what the person in the white car, who was going the right way, was looking at.”
