Three teenagers have been charged over a high-speed crash on a major motorway after allegedly ploughing a stolen BMW into another car then fleeing the scene.
Police were called to a northbound collision on the Gold Coast s M1 motorway, near the Oxenford exit at 2.40am on Monday.
Shocking footage of the crash, captured by a security guard from Gold Coast Patrol Dogs K9, shows the BMW racing up the motorway before smashing into a Toyota Corolla hatchback.
The force of the collision flips the BMW onto its roof, sending sparks flying as the upturned vehicle slides more than 100m across the road.

Subscriber only An infectious diseases expert says individual Hospital and Health Services will be responsible for managing the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines to regional areas, such as Mackay. But Griffith University s Nigel McMillan said many other unanswered questions remained about the distribution of the vaccine in local communities such as Mackay and the Whitsundays. Each health district will manage their own (rollout), Prof McMillan said. How each health service is going to manage that is up to each of those organisations. I don t know how they are going to do that. Queensland Health has already publicly stated that six major hospitals across the state will deliver the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine to those of the highest priority.
