THIS is the horrifying moment a sports car swerves into a truck and trailers, sending them barreling across the asphalt.

The car can be seen coming around the bend at speed, but swerves onto the wrong side of the road before the brutal impact.

After colliding head-on, the Acura’s front end is completely obliterated and the car is sent spinning off the road.

A split-second later, the truck becomes unsteady on its wheels and begins to rock from side-to-side.

It then flips over dramatically, sending a massive cloud of gravel shooting in the air.

The motorist was airlifted to hospital where they are understood to be recovering.

Fortunately, their injuries are not life-threatening, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The truck driver only suffered minor injuries and was taken to the same medical centre.

It comes days after a Porsche race car flew off a California race track and crashed into trees after a brake failure.

Manuel Gil Del Real was driving a No. 270 Porsche when his car went airborne after an apparent brake failure at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca.

Terrifying footage captured the race car approaching the cork screw, an s-shaped turn, before the terrifying crash.

Del Real could be seen driving at speed as his car went airborne with streaks of white smoke coming off his tyres.

Spectators watched in horror as his vehicle flipped and obliterated the fence, scattering debris in the air.

Del Real miraculously survived what could’ve been a fatal crash and was airlifted to a local hospital.

His team confirmed he was awake and being treated at nearby Salinas Hospital.

Thankfully no onlookers or staff were injured as the race car flew into a confined area.
