THIS is the terrifying moment a man was thrown from his 4×4 in a horror crash when a female driver swerved in front of him.

The military Land Rover was travelling in a convoy on the A43 at Hulcote, Northamptonshire, when Crenguta Aruxandei pulled in front in her Audi.

Footage shows the 4×4 driver having no choice but to swerve to avoid Aruxandei as she slowed down to take the exit.

The Land Rover then flipped multiple times after hitting the central reservation – propelling the 36-year-old driver from the car.

He suffered serious injuries – including a suspected broken back – along with his male passenger.

Aruxandei, 44, pleaded guilty to two counts of causing serious injury by careless driving.

But she avoided prison and was instead handed a six month sentence, suspended for 18 months, along with a 12 month driving ban.

Aruxandei, who was also ordered to pay a £154 victim surcharge, must sit an extended test before re-gaining her licence.

The court heard the “completely avoidable” crash unfolded on January 10 at around 8.35am.

Aruxandei was seen moving from the outside to the inside lane as she attempted to take an exit.

The Land Rover Defender driver was then forced to take evasive action to avoid smashing into her.

Northamptonshire Police said the driver was thrown from the Land Rover and taken to the University Hospital Coventry.

His 31-year-old male passenger was taken to Northampton General Hospital with a significant head injury.

Detective Constable Eleanor Hudson, of the force’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: “Holding a driving licence is a privilege and a responsibility and there is no place on our roads for drivers who put the lives of innocent members of the public at risk.

“This was a completely avoidable collision on one of our major roads, which has left two other road users seriously injured and I am pleased that Crenguta Aruxandei will not be able to get back behind the wheel without passing an extended test to ensure she is safe to do so.

“Reducing the number of people killed or seriously injured on our roads remains a priority for Northamptonshire Police and our partners at the Northamptonshire Safer Roads Alliance.

“We will continue to take robust action to remove unsafe drivers from our roads.”
