The moment a van collided with cars on a motorway has been caught on dash cam by a recovery truck driver.

The footage, recorded on the M25, captures a white Citroen van in the middle of the road.

Truck driver Clive Larner said: "I had just picked up a customer’s car from Reading services and I was on my way back to the garage in Long Marston.

"To be honest the first I remember seeing was the white van swerving."

The 46-year-old from Hemel Hempstead added: "I hit the save button on my RoadHawk dash cam and pulled over but it wasn’t until I got home later to look at my footage that I realised how serious it was."

In the footage other cars race to avoid the crash and use the hard shoulder to avoid flying debris.

The incident happened on Friday, September 11.
