The terrifying moment a car flips into the air, somersaults twice and crashes down onto an oncoming vehicle was caught on dash cam.

Miraculously the female driver escaped unhurt after losing control of her car on the B5381 between Trefnant and St Asaph .

Footage captured on Norman Drinkwater’s dashboard camera shows the stomach-churning moment the vehicle veers into his path before careering up an embankment, spinning upside down and smashing into the side of his car at around 11.30am on Saturday.

But the shop owner, who was travelling with his dog at the time, said the woman was “lucky to be alive.”

Speaking to the Daily Post, he said: “I was driving towards Trefnant when I saw a car lose control right in front of me - it was a terrifying sight.

“I passed by as the car was spinning in mid air to the side of me.

“It hit my car as it landed.

“I stopped and called the ambulance and the lady was taken to hospital as a precaution.

“She is a local lady and I spoke to her husband later on and he told me she they thought she may have injured her back but she was allowed home an hour later.

“It must’ve been really scary for her.”

Norman posted the video footage on Facebook and viewers reacted with disbelief.
