This is the shocking moment an out of control joyrider smashes into the back of a family’s vehicle in a stolen car before cowardly racing away from the scene.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Footage captured on a dash cam by Nextbase shows the full sickening impact of the collision which took place on a quiet country road in Kent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Prior to the incident, the yob driver tears around erratically, closely following the recording car before overtaking at speed into oncoming traffic.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The car then speeds towards the vehicle ahead, colliding with its rear bumper and causing parts of it to fall across the road.<\/p>\n
As the impacted car begins to pull over, the reckless driver continues to overtake it, again into oncoming traffic, causing an oncoming car to pull into the ditch to avoid a head-on-head collision.<\/p>\n
