Warning: Some may find the vision disturbing
Dramatic video shows the moment a stolen car, driven the wrong way on Auckland's Southern Motorway, crashes head-on with another vehicle, injuring four people.
The motorway was closed southbound at Highbrook in South Auckland for just over two hours, after the crash involving a car that was being followed by police Eagle helicopter.
The driver is currently in hospital and in a statement police say "charges are likely to be laid".

Police and other emergency services are at the scene of the crash on the motorway, which occurred shortly after 10am. The motorway was closed at Princes Street but the on-ramp has since reopened and all four southbound lanes have reopened.
Police say the car, believed to be stolen, was being monitored at a distance by helicopter when it crashed into a member of the public's vehicle head-on in the southbound lanes.

Video shows the car driving the wrong way down the motorway off ramp, narrowly avoided oncoming cars.
It then heads up a lane, appearing to brake before driving head-on into the other car.
Spikes were successfully deployed near the Highbrook Area but at no point was a pursuit initiated, police said in a statement.
St John Ambulance says two people were treated at the scene with minor injuries and two were taken to hospital with moderate injuries. Four ambulance vehicles attended.
