This is the terrifying moment a lorry slams into the back of a car travelling along a British motorway and sends it hurtling into a nearby field.
The frightening incident was captured on a dashcam as Ian Reid and his wife Tina drove along the M25 from their home in Hythe, Kent to the cinema.
Mr Reid, a 55-year-old former solider, was on his way to watch Jurassic World for his birthday when the heavy vehicle moved into the middle lane and ploughed into his car.

The shocking footage captures the moment of impact as the passing lorry smashes into the back of the silver Peugeot 206.
The staggering force throws the car into the elevated bank alongside the road, which flips the vehicle onto its roof and then back down on its wheels.
The collision causes the dashcam to become dislodged and its spins round to capture the terrified faces of the couple following their terrifying ordeal.
Mrs Reid can be heard asking her husband whether he is injured before he returns the question.
She then admits that her ribs are hurting from the impact of the crash.
Speaking to The Sun, Ian said that other motorists immediately started phoning the police.

And in a harrowing turn of events one witness, who watched in horror as the small vehicle was wiped out by the lorry, called it in as a fatality.
According to Mr Reid five or six police cars arrived within 15 minutes along with three or four ambulances, no doubt expecting the worst.
He admitted to the paper that he does not know how the couple survived.
Since the crash, which occurred 11 months ago, Tina is still recovering and the full extent of her injuries are not yet known.
Mr Reid, who also spent 18 years in the police force, said that the diver was not charged following the incident but that he lost his job with Toyota Motorsport.
