UNBELIEVABLE footage showing the moment a car clipped a lorry, spun across a dual carriageway and came to rest in a parking space has been caught on camera.
Miraculously, no one was hurt in the incident on the busy A217 outside the parade of shops at Burgh Heath.
The video, captured by cameras installed at electrical goods store 21st Century Service, shows the harrowing moment a white Ford Fiesta collided with a lorry as the car driver tried to change lanes on the northbound carriageway.
Within seconds, the stricken vehicle jumped the central reservation, careered across all three lanes of the southbound carriageway and came to a stop, neatly nestled between two parked cars outside the parade of shops – all without hitting anything.
Stunned staff and shoppers, including those who had been standing by both parked cars at the time of the crash, rushed to the aid of the car's female driver, who walked away unharmed, while traffic on the northbound carriageway ground to a halt.
Brenda Cooper, of JG Hair Salon, was upstairs when the incident took place.
She said: "The driver was very shaken up; we gave her a ham sandwich and some sugary cups of tea to help calm her down.
"It was a miracle she went in between the two parked cars.
"We just said it was great parking – we were trying to make light of it and calm her down."
She added: "It could have been very nasty. The poor lorry driver was very shaken too."
Fortunately for the unnamed driver, the collision happened at about 1.20pm on March 27, when the road was quiet. At peak traffic times, thousands of vehicles drive along the busy arterial road which her car was filmed spinning across.
Moments before the collision, three cars and a motorbike can be seen on the CCTV film driving past the parade of shops.
Cameras installed at 21st Century Service, in The Parade, which record goings-on outside the shop at all times, captured the hair-raising collision.
Within ten days, the video had garnered more than 4,000 views on YouTube.
Mr Arnell said: "Fortunately no one was hurt, but it could have been a lot worse.
"This is a busy road and to go across three lanes like this without hitting anything is incredible.
"I am amazed. How on earth did the car get into the parking space?"
The incident was not reported to Surrey Police and a spokesman said it was unlikely any action would be taken as no-one had been injured.
