The moment a tailgater gets brake-checked, causing a multi-vehicle crash on a Queensland highway, has been caught on camera. The 20-year-old man was tailgating a Subaru Outback wagon with his Mazda 3 hatchback while they travelled northbound on the Bruce Hwy on the Sunshine Coast about 2.30pm on Wednesday.

Tailgating driver brake-checked causing huge smash. A camera on a truck in the next lane over filmed the Mazda less than a metre away from the rear of the Subaru. The footage shows the Subaru driver brake-checking — or braking suddenly and momentarily while being tailgated — twice. The second brake-check causes the Mazda to veer across lanes, in front of the truck, before fishtailing and crashing into the truck and at least one other vehicle — another truck. The Mazda driver escaped injury.
