This is the shocking moment a van making an illegal U-turn forces a BMW driver into oncoming traffic and triggers a five-car crash.

The accident happened near Tuapse on the Dzhubga–Sochi highway in Russia on 19th August.

Dashcam footage shows traffic halted on the downhill double lane when the van suddenly cut across the solid line to perform a U-turn.

A BMW travelling uphill in the single lane swerved to avoid the van and crossed into oncoming traffic, where it smashed head-on into another vehicle before colliding with several more.

The video shows debris flying across the road as cars strike each other and come to a stop, while other drivers brake sharply to avoid the wreckage.

According to police, the 55-year-old BMW driver crashed into five vehicles.

Three people were injured, including the BMW driver, the 42-year-old driver of a Lada, and his 17-year-old passenger.

All three were taken to hospital with injuries of varying severity.

No one was hurt in the other vehicles involved, which included a Volkswagen, a Mercedes, a Nissan, and a Chery.

The footage also shows the van driver leaving the scene without waiting to face the consequences.

The press service of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for Krasnodar Krai said the circumstances of the incident are still being established.
