WATCH: M25 workers' close call with stolen BMW
The moment when a stolen car smashed through a temporary motorway barrier, missing road workers by inches, has been caught on camera.
The vehicle - a black BMW X5 - drove through the roadworks at junction 27 of the M25, the Theydon Interchange in Essex, late at night on 15 March.
A man who was working for City TM that night was so badly affected by the near-miss, he has since left the industry.
"You don't get many chances in life, and that night I will never forget," he said.
The car - travelling from Hertfordshire into Essex - was later found abandoned in Romford, east London, and a man was arrested close to where it was found. However, there was insufficient evidence to charge him with any offence.
