A driver’s rear-view camera captured the moment a lorry and a BMW collided on the M62 before veering off into the hard shoulder.

The footage shows how the truck and saloon came into collision in the inside lane.

The vehicles appear to touch before the BMW veers onto the hard shoulder and spins 180 degrees until it is facing the direction of oncoming traffic.

A witness, whose camera captured the crash, said they were ‘so shocked’ as they witnessed the crash, alleging: ‘It came out of nowhere.’

The collision occurred on October 10 around 4.45pm on the M62 between J25 and J24 in Huddersfield.

It was a damage only collision, West Yorkshire Police have confirmed.

The witness, a 57-year-old technician speaking to MailOnline on condition of anonymity, said: ‘It was a beautiful sunny day and not a lot of traffic.

‘As I overtook the BMW I heard an almighty screech of tyres I looked I’m my wing mirror and saw the BMW disappearing onto the hard shoulder.

‘I was so shocked it came out of nowhere.’
