At the start of the video, the gold-coloured Nissan Patrol can be seen reversing down the opposite side of the carriageway into oncoming traffic at speed, before eventually hitting a car behind them.

They then flee the scene by crossing the central reservation and speeding off through a red light further up the road.

The incident occurred in Waterford West, a suburb south of Brisbane, last Tuesday.

The motorist had reportedly collided with another car further up the road, before reversing to flee the scene.

Queensland Police are currently investigating the incident and are appealing to anyone who may recognise the vehicle.
