SHOCKING footage has showed the moment a road rage driver smashes a van with a cricket bat during a furious clash.
The video, taken from a nearby motor on the residential street, shows a silver people carrier stopped at a junction.
Meanwhile viewers of the dashcam footage can see another silver van stopped just a few yards in front, in Southall, west London.
The cars seemed locked in an impasses with neither driver giving way.
But moments later the furious man races to the boot of his car before grabbing a cricket bat and charging across the road.
Realising that carnage is about to unfold, the van driver attempts a swift getaway.
However, he is just not quick enough as the enraged man batters the back of the silver vehicle with the sports equipment.

It is not known what caused the argument, which was caught on camera on Friday September 29 in the capital.
Responding to the footage after it was posted online, one driver said: “If that was my van he hit I would have stopped and got out”.
Another user quipped: “That’s LBW.”
The Metropolitan Police have been contacted for comment.
