Do you know anyone involved in the stunt? Call 0207 293 3759

Half-naked tourists have been filmed performing an incredibly dangerous car stunt on a motorway near Marbella.

A young man in just a pair of shorts was filmed by a Spanish driver lying across the boot of a flashy convertible as it sped down a dual carriageway in the popular holiday resort.

His footage suggests the car is doing at least 100kmh, or 60mph, in the fast lane of a busy main road.

The video, which has been widely shared in Spain, suggests those involved are "guiris" - a popular slang term which usually refers to British tourists.

The driver who uploaded the footage is heard to say: "This is what guiris get up to. One hundred kilometres an hour and look how he’s travelling."

The spot where the footage was filmed - a newly-built tunnel which bypasses Marbella’s neighbouring town San Pedro - is one of the busiest stretches of road in Spain at this time of the year.

A local traffic expert said: “I couldn’t believe what I was seeing when I was shown the video.

“This man would have faced almost certain death if he’d fallen from where he was lying.

“I can only imagine he was coming back from the beach after too much to drink.

"It’s the only explanation I can think of for why he would have put his life and the lives of other road users, at risk in this way."
