A car was captured on camera crashing into the back of an unsuspecting taxi on a bypass road near Newport at high speed. Shot by a spectator standing on the central reservation of the A4810 in Llanwern at around 10.30pm on Sunday, it shows the two vehicles make impact with a sickening thud.
A woman can be heard to scream seconds before the collision which sends both cars - a white Volkswagen Polo and a Skoda - careening off the road. A third vehicle - a black Vauxhall Corsa, travelling close behind - also gets caught up in the incident.
The footage - which was uploaded to social media - also includes the aftermath of the crash, with onlookers searching through the twisted wreckage for casualties. Commenting on the clip one person described the cars as having been "absolutely totalled."
