Shocking video shows a motorist apparently hitting a man over the head with a rock after traffic collision.

The incident took place in Lower Ford Street, Hillfields in Coventry after a Mercedes driver was reportedly rear ended turning out from a junction towards a roundabout.

According to an eyewitness, the Mercedes driver was taking pictures of his damaged car when the other motorist exited his vehicle to confront him.

Later on, the motorist can be seen driving his car directly into the side of the Mercedes - completely wrecking the vehicle.

The filmer, who wished to remain anonymous, said: ""I saw the Mercedes come out from that junction even though it was not his right of way.

"The other guy in the car behind him was beeping so the Mercedes did an emergency break and the guy behind went straight into the back of him.

"I didn't film it, but the other man was trying to run the Mercedes driver over at first as he got out of the car to take pictures for insurance.

"When he couldn't hit him that's when he drove straight into the side of the Mercedes.

"I was just really shocked to be honest. It looked like a movie scene.

"There was lots of blood."
