The driver was left sandwiched between the cars after attempting to overtake near speed bumps.
It stops momentarily before flipping back upright and zooming off down the road.
The impact forces a silver Ford heading in the same direction onto the pavement, where it "miraculously" avoids hitting a child.
It also caused the vehicle to smash head-on into a garden wall.

He pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, aggravated vehicle-taking, failing to stop after a road accident, drink driving and driving without a license.
Sgt Robert Richards of South Wales Police blasted the youngster for his "dangerous actions".
He fumed: 'Danail Angelov could have injured a number of people with his reckless and dangerous actions.
"The taxi driver, who was just going about his daily business, had to attend hospital to be inspected for whiplash and concussion.

'There was also a child pedestrian walking on the pavement at the time of the collision, and it is a miracle that one of the three vehicles didn't end up striking them and causing them serious injury.
'The fact that he then drove off from the scene is a sad indictment of his character.
'It is only right that he goes to prison.'
