This was the moment a driver swerved into the path of an articulated lorry, deliberately causing a crash in an attempt to win whiplash compensation for the four occupants.

In the clip, a Ford Galaxy swerves violently all the way across the carriageway in front of the lorry, clearly causing the crash.

However, the shocking manoeuvre was caught on a dashboard-mounted camera in the truck, which meant the whiplash claims were dismissed.
