CCTV footage from a petrol station on Tal-Barrani road has revealed the moment a car ripped through the road's centre strip yesterday, smashing into another vehicle and leaving four hospitalised. 

The accident happened yesterday shortly after 6pm and involved a Renault Megane and a Honda Civic. 

Footage uploaded to Facebook shows a black car exiting the petrol station and heading in the direction of Żejtun. But before the car can enter traffic, a car heading in the opposite direction comes careening towards it, spinning out of control, over the centre strip and straight into the black car at high speed.

While the black car's driver and passenger can be seen immediately exiting the vehicle, rescue teams had to cut a 27-year-old woman trapped in the other car loose.
