A bakkie approaching from the rear swerved to the right to avoid colliding with the Corolla, hit the back of the Volkswagen and vaulted over the centre median, finally ending on its roof in the oncoming lane.
The accident happened in front of a car fitted with a dashcam, which provided footage of the whole ordeal. This car swerved and braked to avoid hitting the bakkie, and finally hit a lamp post.
Authorities were on the scene shortly thereafter.
