Dashcam footage shows a red Ford Fiesta driving down a service station slip road in the wrong direction, straight into oncoming traffic.

The woman left Welcome Break Corley, Warwickshire, at junction 3 and started travelling northbound on the southbound carriageway to the horror of other drivers. One driver can be seen frantically waving from his window as she drives over hatched road markings and continues past him.

HGV driver Phil Smith said his first thought was ‘what the f**k?’ as he witnessed the incident near Corley services at 1.50pm on November 18.
