Woman’s car somersaults after being hit by driver who ‘didn’t check mirrors’

A woman whose car somersaulted 360 degrees in the air and landed across the street after she claims a driver suddenly changed lanes without checking his mirrors has released footage of the horror crash.

Becky Stone, 24, was left unable to drive due to the severe injuries she suffered to her back, neck, knee and elbow in the crash in April last year.

She has now posted the footage of the incident on social media in a bid to warn other drivers to make sure they check their mirrors before manoeuvering.

Her Audi became airborne after it was shunted in Welling High Street, London.

Becky, from Chatham, Kent, said in the post: "Just a quick reminder to anyone who drives like a mad person or forgets to check their mirrors.

"It can all change so quickly – within a second your life could flash before your eyes like mine did!

"I hope this brings awareness to you all. Stay safe."

The shocking video shows a Hyundai driving down the right lane and then cutting in front of a white van as they approach a set of traffic lights.

As the Hyundai driver cuts in front of the white van, Becky in the black Audi can be seen driving at around 30mph in the right lane.

Just as Becky became level with the Hyundai driver, he then turns right and sticks the front of his car in the path of Becky.

The impact sent Becky's Audi into a somersault as it flipped 360 degrees, landing on it wheels on the other side of the road.

The Hyundai driver can then be seen pulling up next to the wrecked Audi as many bystanders flock to Becky's aid.
