Eyewitnesses said the giant lorry lost control and ploughed through the central reservation during morning rush hour
This is the incredible moment a Mercedes was crushed by a fully-laden
HGV in a horrific motorway smash - but no one was seriously hurt.
The lorry is said to have crossed the central reservation of the busy M40 near Warwick and ran right over the top of a £40,000 E-Class Merc.
Eyewitnesses said the giant lorry was travelling between junction 16 and 15 when it lost control and ploughed through the central reservation.
It ploughed straight into the car and the crash caused tailbacks of up to 10 miles as emergency services dealt with the carnage.
But remarkably, police said no one was seriously injured in the accident, with one driver suffering slight injuries in the collision.

A Warwickshire Police spokesman said after the crash: "The fact that the lorry is fully laden means that recovery will take longer but it is important that all debris is removed from the carriageway for the safety of other drivers."
The crash happened at around 7.45am as many were heading to work. Delays continued into the evening as recovery work took place.
