Dramatic Moment when Mazda and Audi Crash – Who is to blame?

THIS is the dramatic moment two cars barge into each other as they try to navigate a confusing roundabout.

The prang has sparked an online debate about who’s to blame after the small white hatchback and larger black saloon crash side-on near Sheffield.

Motorist David Blandy prompted a fierce online debate when he posted the footage with the caption: “Collision on the Viaduct Bridge, Sheffield. Black car or white car to blame?”

Some have suggested the white Mazda 2 was in the lane for the first exit on the roundabout and moved into the path of the Audi.

But others said it was the Audi who changed lanes, causing the accident.

At the start of the video, the white Mazda 2 is seen driving in the left lane with a black Audi A4 a few metres ahead in the centre lane.

Both lanes allow vehicles to go straight ahead. As the two vehicles enter the roundabout, the white Mazda begins to overtake the Audi as they pass the first exit and they hit side-on.

Paul Milgate wrote: “How is that Audi’s fault. White car changed lane surely.”

Helen Bason said: “White car can go left or straight ahead which is what it was doing, black car was obviously attempting to change lanes.”

Rich Atkin commented: “I read white car’s fault with that, he has no straight on.”

Kevin Spike Toms said: “My opinion for what its worth, white car at fault. the black has the lane lines the same distance from his near side continuously until impact.”

Jamie Scott wrote: “Watched it a few times and both look like in wrong lanes”.
