A car flipped onto its side and slid along a busy road in a crash likened to a scene out of Grand Theft Auto

The bizarre crash saw a vehicle appear to be going too fast.

It then ended up on its side and sparks flew off it before it came to a stop.

It was compared to something out of the cult computer game GTA.

Muhammed Ahmed, who was driving home, slammed on his brakes after watching the vehicle flip over.

The commuter watched on in horror as the vehicle slid across the road, causing drivers to come to a halt.

Muhammed claims that the car hit the curb at speed, which caused it to turn in the air.

The bizarre crash took place on the A13 on the Canning Town flyover, east London.

According to the commuter, it is the ‘third crash’ he has seen in the past week.

The dashcam footage was captured on Tuesday (19 Aug).

“There is a continuous problem with driving, especially speeding on the A13,” Muhammed told Need To Know.

“It was the third crash of the week.

“The driver was speeding, and he slipped on the curb.

“Medics arrived with firefighters at the scene.

“I believe the man was taken to the hospital.

“His condition is unknown at this stage.”

One local said, “Dashcam footage captures the moment a car crashes like it’s GTA.”
