This is the moment when two vehicles raced down a dual carriageway and careered into a roundabout.

The footage, which has been viewed by thousands on Facebook, shows the two cars zooming in the outside lane down the A2070 in Ashford last night.

The vehicles were seen on the dashcam of a motorist in the inside lane driving from Junction 10 of the M20 towards the Orbital Park Roundabout.

Then the cars are brought to an abrupt halt when they plough into the roundabout, with clear skid marks visible where one driver had attempted to brake, leaving at least one woman injured

The A2070 has a history of being used by boy and girl racers. In 2014 police issued a warning to motorists to be wary of wreckless drivers.

Police spokesman Jon Green confirmed there was a crash at the roundabout at 8.40pm last night (Thursday, March 31).

He said one of the vehicles was seized by the police for not having valid insurance.

Meanwhile ambulance service spokesman Brian Cumming said: "A 46-year-old woman passenger was fitting and was taken to the William Harvey by ambulance for further treatment. The driver was unhurt."
