A few moments later, the passenger can be heard shouting in panic before the driver quickly hits the brakes and the car presumably crashes as the screen goes blank momentarily.
The video then shows the driver still conscious after the crash but with blood on the side of his face. The car also appears to have taken a considerable amount of damage as much of the front part of the vehicle appears to have been ripped off. However, it is unknown if the passenger survived this accident.
