This is the terrifying moment a driver slams into a concrete highway barrier after deciding to change lanes at the last minute.
Dashcam footage shows the vehicle, travelling at around 80mph, flip over and stop facing the wrong direction at exit 118 of the 417 Highway in Ottawa, Canada.
A witness said the woman who was behind the wheel walked away from the crash at 9.30pm on February 28, but had to be taken away in an ambulance.
The car sent dust spraying into the air when it hit the concrete barrier while attempting a last minute lane change at exit 118 of the 417 highway in Ottawa, Canada
The clip starts showing the car flashing its indicators as it prepares to cross over a white line onto the exit lane.
As the driver makes the lane change, however, she hits a concrete barrier and sends clouds of dust splattering into the air.
The car rolls across two lanes before coming to a stop facing in the wrong direction on a third.
The video’s recorder and another vehicle then come to a stop to assist the individual.

A witness said the woman who was behind the wheel was still able to walk but had to be taken away in an ambulance
A witness said: ‘This lady did a last minute lane change to exit the highway on a solid white line.
‘Clearly not safe. I stopped and called 911, helped her out, and she left in an ambulance. She was able to walk.’
It is unclear whether the road was closed due to the crash.
