Two e-scooter riders speeding along the pavement got a painful dose of instant karma after smashing face-first into each other.
Dash cam footage shows the pair coming together on a quiet road in Bedfordshire.
One, wearing dark clothing, can be seen swerving around the corner and up onto the pavement right as the other, dressed in a grey tracksuit, was approaching.
The force of the impact sends them crashing to the ground, with the man in grey tumbling into the road.
A woman in the car filming the whole thing is heard screaming: ‘Oh! Could see that happening!’
